Select Groups Stand Up

    With the class continuing to focus on certain groups of people that have stood up for their rights in society, it is easy to see that companies like Wal-Mart have their own groups standing up against them.  The most easily seen may be the group of women fighting for equal employment rights against the company.  This groups is making it known that they will do what it takes to be granted the same rights to advancement and pay as any other employee.

So far these employees have brought a class action suit against their employer, seeking a reformatted way that they are treated.  Also, there is an argument to retrieve lost pay, but how much exactly has not been stated.  A win here for the group seems inevitable, as we have seen other protesting groups in this country are able to make changes once their momentum gets going.

Some more facts and the full story here…
