Google will pay $118M to settle gender discrimination lawsuit with more than 15,000 female staff after paying them $17,000 less than men in similar roles

 

The plaintiffs in the lawsuit include tech engineers, sales reps and at least one preschool teacher

Google was accused of denying promotions to women, putting overqualified women in roles that paid less and generally paying women less than men

In 2021, a judge ruled that the lawsuit could move forward as a class action suit

Shortly after the lawsuit was filed, one of the plaintiffs was harassed and told that she 'deserved to be raped' by a former Google contractor.

Google is one of the many tech giants who have experienced labor problems relating to pay, workplace culture and hiring practices in recent years. Others who have faced lawsuits include Uber, Twitter and Microsoft.
