Supreme Court to Hear Mass Class-Action Lawsuit From Female WalMart Employees 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Attorneys for Wal Mart are heading to the U.S. Supreme Court today to
urge justices to block a group of past and current female workers from
filing a massive class-action sex-discrimination lawsuit against the
retail giant. The justices will decide whether the small group of women
who began the case 10 years ago can represent a huge nationwide
class-action that may include millions of current and former employees
who accuse the world's largest retailer of discrimination.
