As I read news of “The washing Post” I found similar theme as we talked before in “up Against Wal-Mart” by Karen Olsson. The news talks about sex discrimination in Wal-Mart. Women are paid less than men for the same jobs and they receive fewer promotions and have to wait longer for those promotions than male counterparts. That is the reason female employees can sue the Wal-Mart. This kind of discrimination is against women’s right, so the appeal court supports the women’s right to sue Wal-Mart for alleged discrimination. Wal-Mart, not only discriminate women in terms of wage and position, but they represent women by the non-profit impact fund and several other groups.
Wal-Mart said that it supports female employees and is aimed at women in business. But nobody knows the reality. If we compare that statement to topic “up Against Wal-Mart” it is false. Wal-Mart never supports female employees. They just make discrimination among men and women.
I will go to archive and post working with interviews soon.
How effective do you think a lawsuit is as a way of combatting sexism? What other strategies might workers use?
