Walmart, that behemoth of a grocer that everyone loves to hate, has settled a lawsuit concerning gender discrimination for roughly $12 million.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. agreed to pay about $12 million in back wages and damages as well as hire more female applicants for warehouse jobs to settle a sex discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the agency announced Tuesday.

Wal-Mart already suffers from a serious web libel problem. Simply plugging their name into Google will bring up a number of bad links on the first page–this is not good for a company that is international in scope.
