Abstract: When a moving company laid off 12 women and one man, four of the laid-off female employees sued it in federal court, alleging gender discrimination on the theory of disparate impact.

The court then ran a statistical analysis to help it arrive at a decision. Shollenbarger v. Planes Moving and Storage, 297 Fed. Appx. 483 (6th Cir. 2008)
