Corporate America has had things their own way since Reagan and the ATC “strike” In their pursuit of profit they have always found ways to keep payrolls lower. While this is not in it self a bad thing, if it affects a particular class of workers it is illegal. Profit is not a 4 letter word and is necessary to keep American business open and competitive.
Remember when unions first came into being? Remember why? Yep, Corporate America taking advantage of workers in order to make even more profit.
Could we be backsliding?

Walmart has long argued that the case is unsuitable for class treatment, since each employee’s claim involves individual factual issues that can’t be applied to the case as a whole.

It seems to me that Walmart’s records will show whether they routinely paid women and men in the same kinds of positions differently. With over a million employees, If they made exceptions for individuals, that shouldn’t have much bearing on a class action case.It might be grounds for some other type of discrimination suit in those individual cases, however.
