Google to pay $28 million to settle discrimination lawsuit.
Filed in 2021, the class action lawsuit accused Google of favoring white and Asian employees by allegedly offering them better pay and career opportunities. The class includes at least 6,632 people in California who worked at Google from February 2018 to December 2024.
Despite reaching a settlement, Google refutes the lawsuit’s claims. “We continue to disagree with the allegations that we treated anyone differently, and remain committed to paying, hiring and levelling all employees fairly,” a Google spokesperson told The Guardian.
