From
the Washington Post, September
12, 2004:
"READINGS"
Wal-Mart's
legal troubles are the stuff of corporate legend —
one attorney estimates
the chain is sued at least twice a day in U.S.
federal court
alone. Now comes Wal-Mart's biggest court challenge to date:
a class-action lawsuit, filed on behalf of 1.6 million female
employees, accusing the company of widespread sexual discrimination.
In SELLING WOMEN SHORT: The Landmark Battle for Workers'
Rights at Wal-Mart, due out in November, freelance reporter
Liza Featherstone tracks down the women behind the milestone
case, describing in wrenching detail the indignities each
alleges she suffered at the hands of male managers. It is
a corporate culture, Featherstone writes, that condoned
everything from staff meetings at Hooters to the routine
promotion of men over more experienced women. Featherstone
is clearly no fan of America
's largest
retailer, but her rigorous reporting on the stories behind
the lawsuit makes the book a must-read for Wal-Mart's friends
and foes.
