Dukes v Wal-Mart Class Action Certification
Official certification of the class status of Dukes v Wal-Mart. From page 20:
“Plaintiffs also present evidence that Wal-Mart has developed and continually reinforces a strong, centralized corporate culture. This evidence, taken together with evidence concerning Wal-Mart’s company-wide subjective compensation and promotion practices discussed above, provides a further indicator of commonality. Specifically, Plaintiffs present evidence that Wal-Mart corporate culture includes two principal common aspects relevant to this case: (1) a strong emphasis on building and maintaining a uniform culture and (2) an environment that may include gender stereotyping.”
