The women defeated “Google” … the value of the result is this!

Google has paid $ 118 million to settle a class action lawsuit accusing the company of discriminating against its female employees in terms of salaries and promotions at its California headquarters, the two law firms said. he has agreed.

A joint statement issued Friday by Leaf Cabrasier Heiman, Bernstein and Altshuler Perzon said the town includes approximately 1,500 female employees who have been working in California since September 2013.

The company also agreed to have a third party study its recruitment and promotion processes.

“After nearly five years of litigation, the two sides agreed that resolving the case, without accepting responsibility or concluding, is in everyone’s interest, and we are very pleased to reach this agreement,” said a Google spokesman. A letter sent to AFP on Sunday.

Former Google employees sued in San Francisco in 2017, arguing that the giant company pays less for female workers than for men in similar positions, and female employees despite this fact. Both receive lower promotions than men. The parties have the same experience and competence because the company was based on their previous rights.

The text of the settlement, released by the lawyers, shows that Google “denies all the charges in the lawsuit.”

The agreement must still be approved by the judge.

A Google spokesman confirmed in a letter that the company was “fully committed to paying and promoting all employees in a fair and equitable manner.”

He added: “If we see a difference in the salaries provided, including the difference in the amounts offered to men and women, before approving the final amount, we will make corrections to eliminate the difference and we will continue this action.”

And in 2021, the search engine agreed to pay $ 3.8 million to the US Department of Labor following allegations that it discriminates against Asian women and women.

Google said discriminatory decisions were made during a routine internal analysis, indicating that it had agreed to pay the amount to rectify the situation and denied any wrongdoing.
