Apple Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over Alleged Gender Pay Disparities

Two female employees claim Apple systematically underpaid women, representing over 12,000 affected workers.

The lawsuit alleges Apple paid women less than men for similar work, violating California employment laws.
Plaintiffs argue Apple's practices around pay expectations perpetuate historical pay gaps.
Performance evaluations at Apple are claimed to be biased, favoring men over women for raises and promotions.
Apple's internal investigations acknowledged pay discrepancies but did not provide back pay to affected employees.
The case seeks class-action status and compensation for lost wages and benefits.
