A $28 million settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit accusing Google of favoring white and Asian employees over Hispanic, Latino, Indigenous, and other minority workers in pay and career advancement. Former employee Ana Cantu led the lawsuit, alleging the company assigned white and Asian workers to higher job levels and denied raises and promotions to others. While Google denies any wrongdoing, the settlement covers over 6,600 employees in California between 2018 and 2024. A final approval hearing is set for September.
