Disney Sued for Systematically Underpaying Female Employees

Thursday, 4 April 2019, 19:15 MJA Uncategorized 16

Breitbart: The Walt Disney Co. was hit with a class action lawsuit on Tuesday alleging the media giant routinely pays its male employees more than females.

Brought by the San Francisco-based firm Andrus Anderson LLP, the lawsuit seeks to represent all women employees of California’s Walt Disney Studios since 2015. According to the suit, Disney policies have a discriminatory effect on women, including how salaries are set for new hires, and accuses the company of failing to ensure women are paid the same as men for the same job.

“Like other companies that operate without transparency, consistency, and accountability, Disney’s leadership tends to value male workers more than female workers,” the suit reads. “Taken together, Disney’s compensation policies, procedures and practices are not valid, job-related, or justified by business necessity.”

Variety reports:

The suit represents two named plaintiffs, LaRonda Rasmussen and Karen Moore. According to the complaint, Rasmussen has worked as a financial analyst for Disney for the last 11 years. In 2017, Rasmussen raised the issue of her pay with human resources. At the time, she was making a base salary of $109,958 a year.

  1. …last time I was at a Disney property, the place was so loaded with gay and obviously transgenders that I’m not even sure Disney can define “women” well enough to discriminate against them if they WANTED to…

  2. @Supernightshade – That’s odd. I didn’t a single gay or trans character at all when I visited Disneyland that one time…in 1957. (-:

    I don’t know which side I’d prefer to see lose in this case: the legal frauds who still urp up the debunked “women are paid less” claim or the despicable Disney cultural propagandists.

  9. Plaintiff LaRonda Rasmussen is a bi-racial woman over the age of eighteen. She resides in Valley Village, California. She works for Disney in Glendale, California.

    9. Plaintiff Karen Moore is a woman of color over the age of eighteen. She resides in Sherman Oaks, California.

    I thought this was a case about gender, not race.

    Either way there’s a high probability neither plaintiff can do maths.

  10. …to expand on @ecp’s observation…

    “Plaintiff LaRonda Rasmussen is a bi-racial woman over the age of eighteen. She resides in Valley Village, California. She works for Disney in Glendale, California.

    9. Plaintiff Karen Moore is a woman of color over the age of eighteen. She resides in Sherman Oaks, California.”

    …are a “bi-racial woman” and “a woman of color” different things? They is so confuse…
