" Google notches a win in gender discrimination lawsuit ", 6 Dec 2017

In September, three former female employees filed a lawsuit against Google, claiming the company "engaged in systemic and pervasive pay and promotion discrimination."... The plaintiffs sought class action status on behalf of women who have worked at Google in California for the past four years.

...This week, a judge rejected their request to make the suit a class action. ...[T]he lawyer representing the plaintiffs, said his clients plan to file an amended complaint seeking class action certification.

...The suit cited a U.S. Department of Labor analysis of data on 21,000 Google employees for 2015. "That analysis found 'systemic compensation disparities against women pretty much across the entire workforce,'" the complaint said.

...Google told CNNMoney its own analysis of its employees' compensation showed it had no gender pay gap, citing it pays women 99.7 cents to each dollar a man receives.
