yet another reason to boycott wal-mart.
judge approves class-action discrimination case against wal-mart. (although this doesn't address the merits of the case, it's still a great step forward for the plaintiffs.) a tidbit from the article:
"the suit alleges wal-mart created a system that frequently pays its female workers less than their male counterparts for comparable jobs and bypasses women for key promotions."
or if you're too lazy to read, listen. want more reasons?

I absolutely never, ever go near Wal-Mart. It's a thing with me.

"Economic nationalism" ... I get the creeps whenever I hear companies employ tactics of this kind.
I'd like to see a lot more companies getting sued for payment discrimination...not only in the US, of course.
