Walmart is set to pay a former female worker $60,000 to settle a lawsuit claiming it turned down her request for promotion because she had young children at home.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed the lawsuit against Walmart in February 2022, alleging that the retailer discriminated against the former worker on the basis of sex by not promoting her because of "stereotypes about women with small children at home."
