CostCo Wholesale Corp.
- Issue: Gender discrimination
Female employees represented by Lieff Cabraser and co-counsel charge that Costco discriminates against women in promotions to management positions. In January 2007, the Court certified a class consisting of over 750 current and former female Costco employees nationwide who have been denied promotion to General Manager or Assistant Manager since January 3, 2002. Costco appealed.
In September 2011, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit remanded the case to the district court to make class certification findings consistent with the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Wal-Mart v. Dukes, 131 S.Ct. 2541 (2011).
