The problem that is manifesting in consumer litigation ...

... is that franchises delegate their responsibility to owners that simply don't carry them out.  In the case of Walmart, the 'individual store managers' didn't carry out federal regulations requiring 'equal treatment' of all candidates for a job when it came to their gender.

More and more companies are being exonerated from their corporate responsiblities of policing their local managers so long as they have a memo somewhere that states they abide by federal law and they have no control otherwise.

That is nonsense.  Corporations as large as Walmart should have in place a method to police their management to be sure their 'internal policies and regulations' are not 'conveniently' followed so much as completely followed.  Promotions should be tracked and employees should receive advances that deserve them.  Keeping track of employees that have proven assets that would reward the company's best outcome in management should be easily noted and followed by the corporate headquarters.  I am confident a scoring system could be explained to employees as to how they can move up the corporate ladder without discrimination.  None of these mechanisms are a burden, especially to a corporation with profit margins that are more than substantial. 

The federal government should be requiring corporations to report their advancement of women and minorities on a regular basis.  Every five years if not annually.  This would assist prevention of lawsuits rather than relying on them.

Corporations that are too big to fail are becoming, almost as though pre-meditated, "Too Big To Litigate." 

The Civil Rights Movement in the USA as we know it, began in 1948 and where it impacts Plutocrats and their money we are witnessing its end.
