Wal-Mart Stores Inc. lost a bid to have an appeals court reconsider its decision to allow 2 million current and former female workers to sue as a group with sex-bias claims.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco again rejected the company’s request to throw out a 2004 lower-court ruling granting class-action status to the lawsuit.
The workers accuse Wal-Mart of paying women less than men and giving them fewer promotions.
