How will the Walmart case alter class actions and women's rights?

How will the outcome of the Walmart sex discrimination case alter the future of class action lawsuits and women's rights in the workplace? On the next Your Call, we'll talk about the Walmart case in the Supreme Court. Originally filed in 2001, it would represent over a million female Walmart employees on claims of sex discrimination in hiring, promotions, pay raise, and general treatment on the job. If the court rules these women can legally form a "class," how will this case alter the landscape for future class action suits? Join us at 10 or send an email to feedback@yourcallradio.org. How will this case change sex discrimination for women at work? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar.
