Tech: Google sued by female employees

Three women who used to work at Google have filed a lawsuit against the search giant, accusing it of “underpaying them and denying them opportunities for promotions,” said Jacob Kastrenakes in TheVerge.com. The lawsuit claims Google “systematically” offers lower compensation to female employees who are performing the same roles as their male counterparts. The filers are seeking to make the case a class action, representing all women who have worked at Google since 2013. A Google spokesperson said the company “has extensive systems in place to ensure we pay fairly.”
