The Walt Disney Company is facing a lawsuit from 9,000 women alleging gender-based pay discrimination, with a judge rejecting Disney’s attempt to dismiss the case.
The lawsuit, which would be the largest certified under California’s Equal Pay Act, accuses Disney of paying women less than their male counterparts across various divisions.
Disney denied the accusations, claiming the comparisons of salaries are inaccurate due to decentralized decision-making.
