BEIJING, Feb. 7 (Xinhuanet) -- The largest sex discrimination lawsuit in U.S. history on Tuesday got the green light to proceed against Wal-Mart, when a federal appeals court approved class-action status for seven women allegedly biased by the retailer.

In a split 2-1 verdict, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco upheld a 2004 federal judge's decision to let the class-action lawsuit go to trial. The case is estimated to cover more than 1.5 million women, including current and former employees at Wal-Mart, which is the largest private employer in the United States and the world's biggest retail company.
