Walmart accused of having sexist truck driver uniforms

[Jilly_in_VA]

The uniforms Walmart requires its truck drivers to wear amount to "blatant sex discrimination" against female workers because they only fit male bodies, a lawsuit alleges.

In a class-action suit filed Tuesday in Alabama, Walmart truck driver Diana Webb said her ill-fitting driver uniform led her to buy garments that closely resembled the retailer's mandatory clothing, according to court documents. Webb, who joined Walmart in July 2020 as a delivery driver, asked to be reimbursed for the clothes, but the company declined, the complaint states.

"This request was denied by her supervisors and [Webb] was told that if she was reimbursed, Walmart would have to reimburse all female drivers and that they declined to do so," the lawsuit states.

Webb's suit argues that Walmart is breaking federal law by not offering uniforms that properly fit women.

4. Few things are designed for the comfort of women.

Cars, women's bathrooms, grocery shelves, kitchens, etc.

6. One size really doesn't fit all. n/t

9. No it does not

And if WallyWorld continues to issue guy pants to the ladies, they should have to pay for the tailoring required to make them fit right. Same for shirts. Try that one on for size, Alice Walton! Your daddy would kick your ass.
