The Marketplace Report: Wal-Mart Discrimination Lawsuit

NPR's Alex Chadwick talks to Tess Vigeland of Marketplace about a ruling by a federal judge that a gender-discrimination lawsuit against the giant Wal-Mart retail chain could move forward as a class action suit. The decision makes this the largest civil-rights action case ever brought against a private employer in the United States, and could involve more than 1.6 million current and former employees.
