It alleges the tech giant violated the rights of more than 11,000 women by paying men more money for the same job. A San Francisco judge approved the class-action suit on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The claim states Google violated California\u2019s Equal Pay Act by paying its female employees an average of $17,000 less a year than their male counterparts. The suit seeks $600 million in damages as well as disparities in the stocks and bonuses paid to male employees over female workers.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">OUR CLASS WAS CERTIFIED IN ELLIS V. GOOGLE!<\/p>\n<p>This means the judge agreed we can sue as a class, rather than each individual woman needing to sue for relief. This is HUGE.<\/p>\n<p>The class includes over 10,800 women affected by Google&#8217;s gender bias.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kelly Ellis (@justkelly_ok) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/justkelly_ok\/status\/1398037953050415104?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 27, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Google has denied the claims, saying they believe in equality among employees and claiming that they perform a rigorous pay equity analysis annually.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/14-year-old-fla-boy-who-allegedly-stabbed-classmate-114-times-to-be-tried-as-adult\/\">14-Year-Old Fla.
