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.

Here on SN, there's at least two main camps: the leftists, and the libertarians.
Don't forget the asshole camp. They are adequately represented.

Thanks for that. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one.
