Nearly 100 Florida women have filed a lawsuit against retail titan Walmart alleging decades of gender discrimination, Vox reported Friday. The suit claims that the company discriminated against female employees by favoring men for raises and promotions, with claims dating back as early as the 1990s.
The lawsuit stems from an earlier gender discrimination class-action, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. v. Dukes, which made it to the Supreme Court. The case was dismissed in 2011 for being too broad, but many of the suit’s initial Equal Opportunity Commission complaints were still pending—and last November, the plaintiffs were granted the right to sue.
