An assistant store manager at Costco Wholesale Corp. filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the retail chain Tuesday, alleging that she was passed over for a promotion{{U}} (8) {{/U}}. {{U}} (9) {{/U}}The suit claims that females rarely get high-level management jobs. The lead attorney in the case, Brad Seligman, executive director of the nonprofit Impact Fund, is also suing Wal-Mart Stores Inc., alleging that the Arkansas-based retailer pays women lower wages and promotes them less than their male counterparts.{{U}} (10) {{/U}}. But it is stalled in an appeals court, and the merits have not been litigated.

The suit says only 12 percent of Costco's store managers and two of 30 upper-level executives are women. Ellis is seeking unspecified damages, including lost wages, and wants the company to post its managerial positions to its employees. No hearing has been set for a judge to determine whether the lawsuit will represent all current and former female employees{{U}} (12) {{/U}}. Assistant managers receive about $65,000 or more, and managers get more than $100,000 plus bonuses, according to Seligman. He said the suit was about "changing the way Costco does business.
