In the class readings from last week, I was really interested in one in particular. It focused on the Wal-mart company and the class action suit that they face. It is because of sex discrimination and I thought the article did a great job of explaining and giving examples of things that had been going on to women in the workplace. It is unfair for women to be treated the way they were being done so by the Wal-mart corporation, so I took my research to Google to find out a little bit more about it. I came across the Wal-mart class action website, (http://www.walmartclass.com/public_home.html) and splashed across the homepage are things like "Have you been denied career opportunities in management? Have you been denied equal pay for equal work? Have you been getting the run-around about promotions or raises?
Have you hit the glass ceiling?" It's basically a site that allows women who feel that they have been discriminated against to sign up on the site, or call a toll free number. Or, if anyone has any additional information that may help the investigation, they are encouraged to come forth as well. I read all of the FAQs that could be accessed. There is a lot of valuable information on the page for the discrimination victims. It's also a good place for the general public to go that will help them in understanding the case more thoroughly. The article from class piqued my interests, and I just decided to do some additional research on the subject.
