Toshiba's $100 Million Discrimination Class Action

According to reports, a former employee has filed a $100 million class action lawsuit against the Japanese electronics company, Toshiba, accusing the multinational of discriminating against women when it comes to pay and promotions. A former Human Resources Manager has filed suit in the Southern District of New York, alleging that Toshiba routinely paid women less in salaries and bonus than their male colleagues. The lawsuit also claims that less than 3.5% of all Toshiba managers worldwide are women, and that this is the result of sex-based discrimination.

The damages sought by the class are certainly eye catching, and seem to reflect a growing trend in high-profile employment class actions suits. Last year, drug company Novartis agreed to pay more than $175 million to settle complaints brought by 5000-plus present and former female employees. Later this year, the Supreme Court is expected to announce its decision in a discrimination case involving more than 1.5 million current and former Wal-Mart employees. If the employees prevail, it could result in damages of more than $1 billion against Wal-Mart, the largest private employer in the world.

Discrimination can happen in many different ways. If you believe you have been the victim of discrimination seek advice from an experienced employment attorney as soon as possible.
