Google has discriminated against its female employees, according to the US Department of Labor (DoL), which said it had evidence of "systemic compensation disparities".

As part of an ongoing DoL investigation, the government has collected information that suggests the internet search giant is violating federal employment laws with its salaries for women, agency officials said.

"We found systemic compensation disparities against women pretty much across the entire workforce," Janette Wipper, a DoL regional director, testified in court in San Francisco on Friday.

Reached for comment Friday afternoon, Janet Herold, regional solicitor for the DoL, said: "The investigation is not complete, but at this point the department has received compelling evidence of very significant discrimination against women in the most common positions at Google headquarters."

Herold added: "The government's analysis at this point indicates that discrimination against women in Google is quite extreme, even in this industry."

Google strongly denied the accusations of inequities, claiming it did not have a gender pay gap.

    Trump is still trying to drain the swamp. He's facing unprecedented resistance to his nominations. Remember that it isn't just the top-level positions. He has many hundreds of spots left to fill.

    Even if he went beyond that and replaced everybody, there is no way he can staff certain agencies without SJW infestation. Trying to find more than a handful of non-SJW for the Department of Labor is surely impossible. That would be like trying to hire pacifists for the US Marines.

    That said, Google has been biased against Trump. Payback would be understandable. Also, maybe Ivanka is pushing the issue.

    Fill with "maybe-SJW" and then keep the Fired! tool around to replace until it works?
