Government joins in gender discrimination claims against Wal-Mart

The resignation of one of President Bush's appointments to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission resulted in a reversal of the federal government's position, and this month the EEOC joined with women suing Wal Mart for discrimination.  The EEOC filed an amicus curiae brief in the 9th Circuit, supporting the womens' Title VII claim that Wal Mart uniformly paid women less than men across the country.
