I Stand With Betty Dukes

The American Association of University Women (AAUW) has signed an amicus "friend of the court" brief in support of the plaintiffs in Dukes v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. On March 29, 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral argument to determine whether the case can move forward as a class action. Lead plaintiff Betty Dukes, a Wal-Mart employee, has alleged gender discrimination in pay and promotion policies and practices in Wal-Mart retail stores. If she and the other plaintiffs prevail at the Supreme Court, their case will become the largest class-action civil rights suit in the nation's history, comprising approximately 1.6 million female Wal-Mart and Sam's Club employees. AAUW stands with Betty Dukes and the other lead plaintiffs. Add a Twibbon to show your support. Learn more at http://www.aauw.org/act/laf/cases/DukesWalMart.cfm and http://www.aauw.org/payequity
