Goldman, Google women employees march ahead with gender bias suits

Almost 2,300 female workers are part of the class action

The women of Wall Street got a boost Friday with a judge’s ruling allowing a group of as many as 2,300 female employees of Goldman Sachs Group to pursue claims they didn’t get paid or promoted like their male counterparts.
 
The lawsuit dates back to 2010 when two women accused Goldman Sachs of a "culture of discrimination" and a boys’ club atmosphere that included client trips to strip clubs.
 
They alleged that female vice presidents earned 21 per cent less than their male counterparts, while about a quarter fewer women were promoted to the position of managing director
