Goldman Sachs $215M Discrimination Case

USA – Goldman Sachs will pay $215 million (£170.5M) to settle claims that it discriminated against women, offering female staff lower pay and fewer opportunities.

The agreement comes a month before the long-running class-action lawsuit was due to come to trial.

It resolves claims from about 2,800 female staff who worked at the bank in the U.S.

Goldman will work with outside experts to analyse its pay patterns and methods of promotion as part of the deal.
