Supreme Court nixed mass discrimination suit

On a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court has ruled that 1.6 million cannot file a class action bias suit against Wal-Mart.  The high court says there's no proof of company-wide job bias.  However, those employees who instigated the suit are free to continue on their own.

         Courting Action

Wal-Mart's female workers

Will have to take a pass
On suing their employer
As a group, or as a class.

The nation's highest court,

In handing down their fate,
Said the workers haven't proven
That the stores discriminate.

But the ruling doesn't end it;

The plaintiffs still aren't done;
Those who raised the issue
May press on one by one.
