Oracle Owes $400M to Women, Black, Asian Workers, DOL Says
The department of labor recently discovered that the tech company Oracle has been “systemically” discriminating against employees based on their gender and race. According to the DOL, the firm has “shorted” minority groups by $400 million by paying them less than other employees with similar positions, and hiring immigrants who have visas who may accept lower wages. Additionally, the company intentionally placed minorities in lower-paying positions within the firm. A random audit in 2014 led to allegations of race and gender based discrimination, which the DOL further investigated and found to be true.
