Basically the store has these two different jobs.

A unpacking / deliveries receiving job
An indoor stocking job

Both jobs had both men and women in them
But the indoor job had most of the women

The indoor job made less, so they're suing
Companies apparently aren't allowed to choose what to pay their workers anymore, it's sad

Did they win the suit? Not yet. Then why are you acting like it's the end of the world?

If the men working indoors made the same as the women working indoors, they have no case.

What the forget is wrong with society.

You bitches signed up for putting the stuff that was outside of the collectively heavy boxes on the shelves.

Just because I make a hamburger, but don't get enough money than the people who sell the hamburger, doesn't mean I have the right to sue.

because why are they doing that in the first place?

because why are they doing that in the first place?

Because they're entitled. They will likely lose. There's no case here.

that's like suing someone for injuring the loch ness monster

[Kishgal]

Why is this even in the news?

[Compy]

Because they're entitled. They will likely lose. There's no case here.

it's still interesting discussing how people think and what things they think they deserve. we don't need a "case" in order for it to be interesting/discussable

Because driving forklifts, operating heavy machinery, and moving around fragile loads all day is the same as unpacking some cans and putting them on a shelf

It's also hilarious that it mentions men in the indoor section wanting higher pay too. There's no love discrimination. loving idiots
