Google to settle lawsuit claiming ‘favouritism toward White and Asian employees’ for $28 Million

Google has reportedly agreed to a $28 million settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit alleging that the tech giant systematically favoured white and Asian employees, providing them with higher pay and accelerated career advancement opportunities compared to other workers. The preliminary approval of this agreement, involving Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet, was granted last week.According to news agency Reuters, the judge deemed the settlement to be fair, reasonable, and “a good result for the class” of at least 6,632 Google employees in California who were employed between February 15, 2018, and December 31, 2024.

Google says it disagrees with the allegations
