I just recently heard in the news that women working at Wal-Mart are suing because of sex discrimination. Men are making more than they are and receive more promotions. It's hard to believe that this issue is still going on. What more must women do in order to recieve equal pay and fair promotions? What is even more shocking, is it's not just a small group of women reporting this problem-its millions. According to an article in Styleite, "The case initially covered all 1.6 million woman who have worked for the company since 1998..".
If only these types of issues were taken more seriously things might be different. This kind of issue shouldnt even be occuring and the fact that it is proves that not enough is being done to control it. I am happy to see that these women are standing up for themselves and their own rights. They are trying to make a difference and make sure that this doesnt happen to other women across the world. I believe that Wal-Mart deserves everything that they are about to get. "But we've got a feeling there's a giant payday in the pipeline and a few hundred thousand women who will never buy their jeans at Wal-Mart again."
I have worked for the company before and I felt the exact same way as these women feel. Walmart is such a monopoly though I tried my best for months to not shop there but it's the only place where I can find Meow Mix for my kitty at a resonable price. She won't eat any other kind it's really sad! Gosh I hope these ladies out due the Giant this time.
