Google has reached a $28 million settlement in a class action lawsuit that accused the company of paying white and Asian employees more and promoting them over Hispanic, Latino, Indigenous, and Native American workers. This lawsuit, filed by Ana Cantu, alleged violations of the California Equal Pay Act, claiming unequal treatment in pay and career advancement despite similar work. The settlement, which is pending final approval, will benefit over 6,600 affected employees in California, with a net payout of approximately $20.4 million after legal expenses. Google maintains its stance denying any discriminatory practices.
"Google has agreed to pay $28 million to settle a class action lawsuit claiming that it favored white and Asian employees in terms of pay and career advancement."
"Judge Charles Adams deemed the settlement fair and reasonable for a class of at least 6,632 Google employees in California between February 2018 and December 2024."
