Submitted via IRC for Runaway1956

The U.S. Labor Department has sued Oracle America Inc, alleging that the technology company systematically paid its white, male employees more than other workers and unlawfully favored Asian applicants in its recruiting and hiring efforts.

The department in a complaint filed with an administrative judge in Washington said the company was prohibited from engaging in racial discrimination given the hundreds of millions of dollars it receives as a contractor with the federal government.

    I think it's safe to assume this lawsuit will be dropped in the next day or two.

    Dunno, could be. It's amazing the number of "righteous" actions that happen in the last weeks of being in office...especially ones that can easily be reverted.

    I wouldn't be so sure. President Trump ran on a platform of taking jobs from guest workers and undocumented persons and giving them to unemployed Americans.
