WASHINGTON -- A Wal-Mart employee who fought the company all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court has left the company after reaching a settlement, but she said Tuesday that she'll be devoting her energy to fighting racial and gender inequality.
Tuesday was the fifth anniversary of the oral arguments in Walmart Stores, Inc. v. Dukes .
At the National Press Club, Betty Dukes, the lead plaintiff in the case, described what it had been like to watch as the justices grappled with her case.
"It was an awesome place to be and it was absolutely a place of terror to be in such a high place of law in the land and you don't know the end result," she said.
