Google settles racial discrimination lawsuit for $50 million
Google argues that federal law protecting against racial discrimination does not apply to claims based on Jewish identity, seeking to dismiss a former employee's lawsuit.
- Google reached a settlement with Black employees who alleged systemic racial disparities in hiring, pay, and advancement in a 2022 lawsuit, though the company did not admit liability.
- Other former Google workers joined the suit, which received class action status, claiming the company steered them into lower-level jobs and subjected them to a hostile work environment.
- Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, representing the plaintiffs, stated the settlement is a "significant step toward holding one of the world" accountable, with commitments to pay equity analyses included.
- The lawsuit echoed years of complaints from Black employees at the company, including prominent artificial intelligence scholar Timnit Gebru, who was pushed out in 2020 after a research dispute.
