Report Link Class Action Certified In Sex Bias Suit Against Wal-Mart (scroll down).Ballard Rosenberg Golper & Savitt - October 01, 2007 In Dukes v. Wal-Mart, Inc., the Ninth Circuit issued a revised opinion that once again affirmed a district court order granting class certification in a lawsuit alleging that Wal-Mart discriminated against female employees in both pay and promotional opportunities in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The proposed class consists of women employed by Wal-Mart in positions ranging from part-time, entry-level hourly employees to salaried managers. The class is estimated to include more than 1.5 million women. Plaintiffs seek injunctive and declaratory relief, backpay, and punitive damages, but not compensatory damages. The district court certified the class pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (FRCP) Rule 23.

Report Link Ninth Circuit Affirms Certification of a Historic Class Action in Dukes V. Wal-Mart, Inc.Jackson Lewis LLP - February 28, 2007 Employers suffered a major set back when a panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals recently affirmed the certification of a class action lawsuit against Wal-Mart. This action will include an estimated 1.5 million current and former female employees. The action asserts the company engaged in sex discrimination in violation of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Wal-Mart, which denies the allegations and has contested the class designation, has vowed to ask the 11 judges of the full appeals court to reconsider the February 6, 2007 ruling and, if that fails, to seek review by the United States Supreme Court. Unless the decision is overturned, employers, particularly those in the eleven western states covered by the Ninth Circuit, face the prospect of many more class claims.
