‘Biased against women’: Apple thinks men ‘have more talent’ than women, according to a California lawsuit

According to Apple, the company offers larger checks to employees who have more talents. But when everything is equal, this policy is distinguished against women because, based on salaries, fewer females in the company are announced that she has more talent than men A lawsuit in California two years agoThe judge who recently ruled can move forward in court.

In 2019, two Apple employees found a tax document for male colleagues on copies, and revealed that he had achieved 10,000 dollars more than they did in a similar role. Four years later, these employees filed Justina Jong and Amina Saljado a lawsuit based on this discovery, claiming to distinguish up to 12,000 apple employees because they were receiving lower salaries than men in the marketing of Apple, guarantee and engineering.

“The Apple also has a policy or practice to choose individuals who have” talent “and compensate these people more than other employees,” says the lawsuit. As the lawsuit explains, a greater number of women with similar qualifications are determined that they have talent, and therefore policy is distinguished on the basis of sex.

Cooperno, which is based in California, attempted to reject the lawsuit demanding that the discovery of copies for 2019 was an isolated incident that exceeded the statute of limitations and that payment policies were not dependent on sex but on talent instead. On January 21 this year, Judge Ethan Shulemann of the San Francisco Supreme Court announced that the case could continue, and the prosecutor will now seek to obtain the status of the semester.

The lawsuit also says that the Apple review process is biased

In addition, the lawsuit claims that the Apple employee review system is biased against women because male employees are rewarded for a wage increase in types of performance in areas such as teamwork and leadership, and the same types of performance that women are punished. Since the compensation increases are based on employee reviews, this fact creates more wages, according to the case.

Also in the lawsuit, the prosecutors Jung claimed that she had reported sexual harassment from one of the supervisors in the same year in which the tax document was discovered in the copies, and while the man who said that her harassment was disciplined in the company, the supervisors of her ignored her request to transfer her to a different team, then after A few years, her harassment was transferred to sit next to her. When she complained, Jong says that her supervisor told her to be “professional, respectful and cooperative.”

The payment was rejected again

Meanwhile, the judge stopped calling for contrast in the salaries of racial discrimination in the case based on insufficient evidence, although the complainant can repair and re -submit the complaint. according to ICLG NewsThe lawsuit also requested that the wage be paid to the female employees is no longer in Apple, and Judge Shawman refused to request.

In a statement, I told Apple Reuters“Since 2017, I have achieved Apple and maintained his gender wages rights, and every year we participate with an independent expert to an external authority to examine a total compensation for each team member and make adjustments, when necessary, to ensure the preservation of property rights.”

But Zi Buri, a former Apple employee, does not agree. She says gender discrimination is “in the back of your mind, but it is still a shock when you discover that and realize that we are doing the exact thing, and it is not appreciated much without any other reason we are two different types,” NBC Bay area I mentioned.
