Judge Dismisses Texas Civil-Action Suit Claims Against Wal-Mart

Wal-Mart will not face class-action gender discrimination claims in a federal court lawsuit in Texas, Bloomberg reported. U.S District Judge Reed O'Connor has dismissed the Texas class complaint, finding that the lawsuit was filed too late. The suit, which alleged the retailer discriminated against women in pay and promotions in the company's Texas region, sought to represent all women hourly and salaried workers, below store managers, employed by Wal-Mart and Sam's Club in the region.
