Before folks go nuts over the SC ruling take a deep breath and realize that the class was rejected due to failure to meet the criteria in the law.

The claims of the class must be common to all and typical of each.

As one example, the class tried to include female supervisors, and employees (which can almost never meet the criteria) and even included female managers which may have (according to the class claims) been involved in the very discrmination against the employees that the class complaint was seeking to remedy.

It does not have to be over. It can be refiled with more appropriate classes. Female superviosrs/managers may indeed have valid claims - but they are different than those of the employees.

This does not mean, as folks are claiming that each individual woman must file a seperate complaint.
