American Entertainment Conglomerate, Disney will pay to resolve a lawsuit bordering on paying female workers less than their male counterparts in equivalent roles for nearly a decade.
The agreement, originates from a 2019 lawsuit initiated by LaRonda Rasmussen who claimed that she discovered six men with the same job title earned significantly more than she did, including one with considerably less experience.
Approximately 9,000 women, comprising both former and current employees, joined the case.
Under the new agreement, Disney whichdenied any wrongdoing will engage a labour economist to evaluate pay equity among its full-time, non-union California employees below the vice president level over the next three years.
