Selling Women Short: The Landmark Battle for Workers Rights at Wal-Mart

by Liza Featherstone

Women workers at Wal-Mart stores across the country filed a class-action suit against the

company for sex discrimination in promotions, pay and job assignments. Dukes v. Wal-Mart Stores

is potentially the largest class-action suit in history, representing 1.6 million past and present women

employees. Featherstone's interviews with the plaintiffs reveal an entrenched good ol' boy network at

the company, where highly qualified women are routinely passed over for promotions that are given

to men with less experience

.

Judy Gorman sings songs from her new CD - The Rising of Us All

18 songs peace & justice, work & women, struggle and celebration.
