Gender-Bias Lawsuit Against Sterling Jewelers to Go Forward (Reuters)
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan has “restored” a nationwide class action arbitration suit against Sterling Jewelers (which includes the brands Kay, Jared, and Zales) by its former employees. This now allows “at least 70,000” former and current female employees to pursue claims that the retailer “paid them less and promoted them less often than men for a decade.” Initially in January 2018, a lower-court judge ruled that “an arbitrator lacked power to include women in the class who had not said they wanted to join it, rather than only the 254 who authorized it.”
