Google to Pay $118 Million to Employees in Gender Discrimination Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Google has agreed to pay $118 million to over 15,000 workers to settle a
class-action gender discrimination lawsuit. The lawsuit accused Google
of systematically underpaying women in California in violation of state
law. Meanwhile, female employees at the software company Oracle are
facing a new setback in their lawsuit against the company. On Friday, a
judge stripped them of their class-action status.
