"Anyone who has been in the modern workplace knows that most employers have policies that say don't discriminate. What matters is what's happening in practice."
National Women’s Law Center Co-President Marcia D. Greenberger called it a “devastating decision undoing the rights of millions of women across the country to come together and hold their employers accountable for their discriminatory practices.”

The Washington-based National Women’s Law Center estimates that working women earn 77 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterparts. The court’s ruling could make it harder to close that gap, because “the class-action mechanism is tremendously important for bringing pay discrimination claims,” said Fatima Goss Graves, the center’s vice president for education and employment.
