Current Impact Cases

Few weapons are more powerful than litigation in the fight against gender discrimination. Each case in ERA’s docket has the potential to create social change and improve the lives of women.

Dukes v. Wal-Mart Stores

On behalf of female employees of Wal-Mart, ERA is charging the retail giant with systematically denying promotions, training opportunities, and equal pay to women. This nationwide, class action lawsuit has the potential of being the largest sex discrimination case ever litigated against a private employer. Visit the Wal-Mart class Web site for more information.

Hulteen v. AT&T

ERA is demanding that AT&T correct its discriminatory benefit calculation practices. Through this class action lawsuit, ERA is seeking justice for female employees who lost pension benefit or were excluded from early retirement opportunities due to AT&T’s practice of treating pregnancy-related leaves less favorably than other temporary disability leaves.
