When Stephanie Chapman worked at @Wal-Mart Stores, Inc, she alleges in a lawsuit filed against the world’s largest retailer this month, she learned she was making $2,000 less than men who held similar positions. When one of her co-workers asked for an explanation of her pay discrepancy, the lawsuit states, she was told the men “have families to support.” At the time, Chapman says, she was the breadwinner for her family of four. Chapman is among several hundred #women in at least a dozen states who have filed complaints since the end of last year or will be doing so soon, according to an attorney who has worked on these cases since the 2000s. The allegations are remarkably similar: women earned less than men in similar roles, were told that the men needed the money to support their families, were less likely to be promoted, had to train the men who became their supervisors and had their advancement restricted by policies that didn’t seem to apply to male co-workers. Walmart says it treats women fairly and that the allegations "are not representative of the positive experiences millions of women have had working at Walmart,” a company spokesperson wrote in an email. “We’ve said that if one of these plaintiffs believes they have been treated unfairly, they deserve to have their timely, individual claims heard in court.” Chapman loved working for Walmart at first but eventually left. At her new retailer, Chapman’s spirits quickly lifted. “It was like coming out of the clouds,” she says. “You felt appreciated.” Read more at the link in bio. Photograph by @gdemczuk for TIME
