The Women vs. Wal-Mart

I think that, if they have good evidence, then they should fight for their rights as much as possible! I don't like an big chains, because they aren't concernedabout their customers. They can't be! There are too many of them!!!!

I worked for Walmart for 7 months. They promise to work around your schedule if you have a 2nd job- good luck with that ! They give you crazy hours and hassle you if you try to go to church. My store manager told me that I had to make a choice. Church or my job ! After 7 months of trading around schedules with other employees to have 2 hours to go to church, I finally quit ! When I quit they acted shocked . I found out I could have taken them to court through the labor board but that would have taken months. It wasn't worth it. Beware of Walmart ! Our department was cheated out of breaks because we didn't have enough people to cover our department. I refuse to shop there because of so much unfair treatment not just to me but to so many others. I keep in contact with some of my old co-workers and things are getting worse . Many have tried to call corp. office but nothing is done .

I love shopping at walmart and I always get great deals there. I do not understand the lawsuit or if it is justified but I sure hope that it is not.

I hope they win. Hopefully they have proof. Because i know your not supposed to talk about income. Maybe someone from their HR department brought it up. Best of luck and I hope you win

If these allegations are true, then Wal-Mart definately deserves to be sued. There is NO reason for men earning more, if woman are doing the exact same job. I did used to shop at Wal-Mart exclusively when my daughter was a baby, just because it was so gosh-darned convenient. We don't have a Target anywhere near us, and where else can you buy baby stuff, dog-food, grocery items, AND socks? Now I try to shop mostly at the drug stores because I feel like I get far better customer service.

i have worked for wal mart for 15 years, i have been promoted in every position i have applied for. these women that are not being promoted probably are not the best candidate for the job. in my store there have been many people over the years that want to be promoted and simply could not have done the job! just because you want to be promoted does not mean that you automatically get to be, would you allow some one to be president of a company just because they wanted to be, would you allow someone to care for your children that was not qualified but beleived in their minds that they were, and then sued you for discrimination because you wouldn't llet them care for your children!! you must look at all sides of the story before blindly beleiveing everything someone says.

i really do love shopping at walmart for their low prices, but after reading these comments and the article i am unsure if i want to continue supporting this chain of retailers.

I have no doubt the allegations are true. I worked at Wal Mart when I was 18 and there was a policy that if an item was marked wrong, the item was $3 off and if the item was less than $3 it was free. My manager flat out told me not to do it and said to never tell a customer of the policy. I've heard countless stories from a family member about the awful things they've done. My family member, who's worked there for 17 years and hardly makes enough to get by, slipped and fell and was hurt due to a detergent spill by another employee. My family member was written up for it. Sadly they've become almost too big to hurt and have people by the purse strings. But we can try! Someone needs to shed some light and show their practices for what they are!!

I hate Wal-Mart. I don't shop there for many reasons. I think everyone should watch the documentary ?Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price?. After I watched it I stopped going there. I would not be surprised if this story about gender discrimination is true.

I cant remember the name of the show..but I heard a lawyer or someone of that nature say Walmart was denying its employees health insurance. Furthermore, when they found out an employee was seriously ill, they took how life insurance policies with Walmart as the beneficiary. To me, thats as low as you can go. I would believe most anything I heard about them. Just talk to their employees.

WALMART HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS IN THE PAST. FROM FALSE ADVERTISEMENT, AND FALSE PRICES (CHECK YOUR RECEIPT BEFORE LEAVING THE STORE) TO BELOW STANDARD SECURITY. NOW THIS. IF THIS IS TRUE WALMART HAS LOSS ME AS A CUSTOMER. I AM A WOMAN WHO HAS STORMED DOWN MANY OBTACLES TO REACH WHERE I AM TODAY. AND I AM SURE THERE ARE 100'S OF OTHERS. WOMEN HAVE THE POWER. GUESS I'LL DO MORE SHOPPING AT TARGET.

I wish them luck.

Wal-mart has taken advantage of it's employees, suppliers, and customers for many years. It's good to see the people who are involved fighting back to the extent of the law.

If this is true, then those women need to go for it and go hard ! Wal-Mart is a piece of work and I rarely shop there now because I'd rather not have a headache when I come out of there. They act like using coupons is against the law or something and scrutinize every little thing... I just can't waste 40 minutes in there each time when I go in for 1 or 2 items.

I know people who work there and I know this happens, I hope they win...women should be heard and promoted for there hard work
