Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world’s largest retailer, was sued by five Wisconsin women who claim the company denied them and other female employees equal pay and equal opportunities.
“Women at Wal-Mart were told by management that women deserved less pay and fewer promotions than men because men had families to support,” Jim Kaster of Minneapolis-based Nichols Kaster PLLP, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said in a statement announcing the filing.
