Wal-Mart To Pay $7.5 Million In Lawsuit Over Benefits For Same-Sex Spouses

Description

On Friday, Wal-Mart said it would pay $7.5 million to settle a U.S. lawsuit alleging it discriminated against gay employees by denying health benefits to their spouses. Employee Jacqueline Cote filed the 2015 lawsuit in federal court in boston. In a court filing, Wal-Mart and Cote’s lawyers said the money may be split among over 1,000 people who were denied spousal benefits between 2011 and 2014, when Wal-Mart altered its policy. The settlement has to be approved by a federal judge.
