Google settles for $28 million in a class action lawsuit alleging pay discrimination against minority employees in California.

Google's $28M Discrimination Settlement

Google agrees to a $28 million settlement over a discrimination lawsuit alleging unequal pay practices affecting over 6,600 minority employees in California.

Google settles discrimination suit with $28M payout

Google settles a $28 million lawsuit over alleged pay discrimination favoring white and Asian employees, impacting over 6,600 California workers.

In a significant legal development, Google has agreed to a $28 million settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit alleging racial discrimination in pay and career advancement opportunities. The lawsuit accused the tech giant of favoring white and Asian employees over minority workers in terms of salary and career positioning.
The legal action was spearheaded by Ana Cantu, identified as a Mexican racially indigenous individual, who represented a diverse group of minority communities, including Hispanic, Latino, and Native American employees at the corporation.
The settlement was given the green light by Judge Charles Adams of California's Santa Clara County Superior Court last week. Judge Adams described the agreement as "fair and reasonable," declaring it a positive outcome for the class of 6,632 Google employees who worked in California between February 15, 2018, and December 31, 2024.
Despite reaching a settlement, Google maintained its stance against the claims. A company spokesperson stated, "We continue to disagree with the allegations that we treated anyone differently and remain committed to paying, hiring, and leveling all employees fairly."
Cantu, who resigned from Google in September 2021, argued that despite her seven years of exemplary service, she remained stagnant in her role while white and Asian colleagues received promotions and higher pay. She also claimed that minority employees performing equivalently were assigned lower job "levels," and that those who raised concerns faced obstacles in career advancement.
She contended that these actions violated the California Equal Pay Act, prompting her to leave the company.
The final settlement amount allocates $20.4 million to affected employees after accounting for $7 million in legal fees, penalties related to Cantu's claim under California's Private Attorneys General Act, and other associated costs.

In order to settle a lawsuit alleging the bank facilitated and profited from Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking of young women, Deutsche Bank agrees to pay $75 million. 

 Deutsche Bank will pay $75 million to settle Epstein lawsuit 

In order to settle a lawsuit alleging the bank facilitated and profited from Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking of young women, Deutsche Bank agrees to pay $75 million.&nbsp;

Deutsche Bank will pay $75 million to settle the litigation that that alleged it profited financially from aiding Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking network.
The settlement relates to an anonymous defendant who filed a proposed class-action lawsuit in November 2022, saying that Deutsche Bank did business with Epstein while being aware that he utilised money in the account to finance sex-trafficking activity. The Wall Street Journal reported.
The Journal, citing people familiar with the matter, said Deutsche Bank did not admit wrongdoing.
According to the initial lawsuit, which was submitted in US court in New York, Deutsche Bank gained financially by aiding Epstein's 'sex trafficking organisation to successfully rape, sexually assault and coercively sex traffic Plaintiff Jane Doe 1 and the numerous other members of the Class.'
After JPMorgan Chase froze his accounts in 2013, American financier Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting a sex crimes trial, started banking with Deutsche Bank.
An unidentified woman -- apparently the same as in the Deutsche case -- and the US Virgin Islands brought separate suits against JPMorgan late last year, accusing the bank of facilitating Epstein's crimes by ignoring warnings and continuing to keep him as a client until 2013.
The bank has refuted the claims and taken legal action of its own against a former official who had connections to Epstein.
In July 2020, Deutsche Bank consented to pay $150 million to resolve claims made by the New York Department of Financial Services regarding compliance lapses related to the bank's work for Epstein
"We acknowledge our error of onboarding Epstein in 2013 and the weaknesses in our processes, and have learnt from our mistakes and shortcomings," Deutsche Bank said in July 2020.
Epstein was convicted in Florida in 2008 of paying young girls for massages, but served just 13 months in jail under a secret plea deal.
Later facing charges of trafficking underage girls for sex, he killed himself in a New York jail in August 2019.

The company has been facing thousands of lawsuits over its talcum powder containing traces of asbestos blamed for causing ovarian cancer. 

Johnson & Johnson proposes $8.9 billion settlement of talc cancer claims 

The company has been facing thousands of lawsuits over its talcum powder containing traces of asbestos blamed for causing ovarian cancer.&nbsp;

US pharmaceutical giant Johnson &amp; Johnson (J&amp;J) proposed an $8.9 billion settlement to resolve years-old lawsuits claiming that its talcum powder products caused cancer.
The New Jersey-based company said the proposed settlement, which still needs the approval of a bankruptcy court, "will equitably and efficiently resolve all claims arising from cosmetic talc litigation."
If approved by the court and a majority of the plaintiffs, the $8.9 billion payout would be one of the largest product liability settlements ever in the United States, ranking alongside those entered into by tobacco companies and, more recently, opioid manufacturers.
J&amp;J has been facing thousands of lawsuits over talcum powder containing traces of asbestos blamed for causing ovarian cancer.
The firm has never admitted wrongdoing but stopped selling its talc-based baby powder in the United States and Canada in May 2020.
"The company continues to believe that these claims are specious and lack scientific merit," Erik Haas, J&amp;J's vice president of litigation, said in a statement.
J&amp;J had previously proposed a settlement of $2 billion in response to the allegations that its cosmetic talc caused gynecological cancers.

Twitter faces lawsuits over alleged unpaid rent for US HQ, UK office

Twitter has already been taken to court this month for falling behind on rent at another San Francisco office.

More landlords are taking Twitter to court over unpaid rent at the social media company's headquarters in San Francisco and its British offices &mdash; the latest legal headaches for billionaire owner Elon Musk, who has been trying to slash expenses.
Twitter is facing a lawsuit over allegations it failed to pay rent for its head office, according to California court documents. The owner of its premises in central London, meanwhile, said it's taking the company to court over rental debt.
Musk is making extreme cost cuts after his USD 44 billion deal last year to buy Twitter left the company on the hook for about USD 1 billion a year in interest payments.

Google and YouTube face a lawsuit for collecting data from children under the age of 13 via YouTube

A US appeals court has revived a lawsuit alleging that Google and other companies violated the privacy of children under the age of 13 by tracking their YouTube activity and sending them targeted advertising without parental consent.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in Seattle ruled that the federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) did not intend to preempt state law-based privacy claims. The lawsuit also claimed that YouTube content providers, including Hasbro, Mattel, the Cartoon Network, and DreamWorks Animation, lured children to their channels knowing that they would be tracked.
In 2019, Google agreed to pay $170m to settle charges by the Federal Trade Commission and the New York Attorney General that YouTube illegally collected children's personal data without parental consent.

Elon Musk's Twitter sued by former employees for this reason

The discrimination lawsuit is the latest in a series of legal challenges over Musk's decimation of Twitter's workforce through mass layoffs and firings.

Two women who lost their jobs at Twitter when billionaire Elon Musk took over are suing the company in federal court, claiming that last month's abrupt mass layoffs disproportionately affected female employees.
The discrimination lawsuit is the latest in a series of legal challenges over Musk's decimation of Twitter's workforce through mass layoffs and firings.
Days after the world's richest man bought the social media platform for $44 billion, the company told about half of employees on Nov. 4 that they no longer had a job but would get three months severance. The lawsuit filed in a San Francisco federal court this week alleges that 57% of female employees were laid off, compared to less than half of men, despite Twitter employing more men overall before the layoffs.
The cutbacks continued throughout November as Musk fired engineers who questioned or criticized him and gave all remaining employees the choice to resign with severance or sign a form pledging &ldquo;extremely hardcore&rdquo; work and dedication to Twitter's new direction. Scores more lost their jobs after declining to make the pledge.

San Francisco-based Twitter started the year with about 7,500 employees worldwide, according to a filing with securities regulators. Now a private company, it hasn't disclosed how many are left. Twitter didn't immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.
The lawsuit filed late Wednesday for former employees Carolina Bernal Strifling and Willow Wren Turkal on behalf of similarly-situated female workers makes the claim that 57% of female employees were laid off on Nov. 4, compared to 47% of male employees. The plaintiffs are scheduled to speak about the lawsuit on Thursday.
The gap is even greater for women in engineering-related roles &mdash; 63% were laid off, compared to 48% of men with engineering roles, according to the lawsuit filed by prominent Boston workers' rights attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan, who ran an unsuccessful Democratic primary campaign for Massachusetts attorney general earlier this year.
&ldquo;The mass termination of employees at Twitter has impacted female employees to a much greater extent than male employees &ndash; and to a highly statistically significant degree,&rdquo; Liss-Riordan wrote. &ldquo;Moreover, Elon Musk has made a number of publicly discriminatory remarks about women, further confirming that the mass termination's greater impact on female employees resulted from discrimination.&rdquo;&nbsp;
