April Curley, a former Google employee, filed a lawsuit accusing the tech giant of systemic racial discrimination against Black workers. After months of negotiations, Google has agreed to a $50 million settlement, providing compensation to over 4,000 eligible employees who identify as Black or Black and multiracial. Although the company admits no wrongdoing, it has pledged to address race-based pay disparities and implement fair hiring practices. The settlement, which is pending court approval, will distribute funds based on specific criteria and excludes certain employees who released claims earlier.
More than 4,000 current and former Google workers will be eligible to receive cash from the company upon the settlement's approval by a judge.
The settlement's negotiations were hard-fought, and included visits from former workers and the analysis of reams of Google's labor data.
