Good News After Initial Disappointment for Female Wal-Mart Employees

What do readers think about the Wal-Mart discrimination case? (Women contend--many with compelling evidence--that they were systematically denied promotions and pay raises because of their gender.) Would you boycott Wal-Mart stores if you believed they discriminated against women?

    The more I read about Wal-Mart, the less I shop there. It seems to always be something with their company throughout the world in regards to discrimination or a lack of human rights.
