WAL-MART PAYS WOMEN OVER $11 MILLION AFTER LOSING GENDER DISCRIMINATION LAWSUIT

In California, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you for any reason, including your gender. Whether you are a man or a woman, if your employer uses you gender as a reason to fire, demote, not promote, or not hire you then you need to call an experienced CA employment attorney --- you might be the victim of gender discrimination. Gender discrimination occurs in many California workplaces and is illegal.

Excluding women from employment or excluding them from certain positions because of gender violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. However, many female applicants at a local Walmart allege that Walmart regularly hired male entry-level applicants for warehouse positions, but excluded them, even though were equally or better qualified and that Walmart regularly used gender stereotypes in filling entry-level order filler positions. Such hiring practices violate CA and federal labor laws. With the help of a legal team, the women sued and won over $11 million in damages.
