In 2003 managed to get action lawsuit against Wal-Martbased on so few women being among its managers giventhat a majority of its workforce is female and also forequal pay. Ended up settling case because didnt want tolose a case for discrimination because would hurt Wal-
Marts bottom line. But as the judge rightly ruled,companies that do business on as large a scale as Wal-Mart have to be prepared to answer for their actions onan equally large scale. Case settled in June 2004 andbegan in September of 2003.

In June 2005 Oklahoma grocer Super H filed lawsuitagainst Wal-Mart Stores for using a scanner to collectbarcode data from the products on the Super HsShelves. Wal-Mart allegedly sent workers into Super Hto check prices close to the time a Supercenter wasopening in August. Super H wants the scanner back, notbecause of the price information but to make sure thatthere is not inventory and wholesale prices in thescanner. The real question in this case was not the price
scanning but can the scanner capture other informationfrom the scanning tag then just the price. The suit wasdismissed per news reports.

In April 2006 a suit was filed against a Wal-Mart in Maryland toensure that larger employers pay up to a percentage toward healthcare for employees. ERISA is there to establish a uniform nationalframework for sponsoring, administering, protecting, and regulatingemployee benefit plans, including pension plans, and health andwelfare plans. ERISA has a broad clause that pre-empts states and
municipalities from enacting laws that relate to employee benefitsplans. In this case it is not sure if the Maryland law or bills in otherstates violates the ERISA previsions. In February Wal-Martannounced plans to upgrade its health care benefits. This wasdecided in the middle of the uproar in this Maryland case.
Here are a few cases about Wal-Mart. There were 52 pages of casesif you would like to see more go to Business & Company ResourceCenter, News/Magazines.
