Case Details

Some of the case allegations include:

• Binge drinking in the work environment;
• Work-related events held at strip clubs;
• Female employees earning lower wages than male counterparts:
  • Female vice presidents earning a salary that is 21% less than similarly situated male vice presidents;
  • Female associates earning a salary that is 8% less than similarly situated male associates;
• Female employees passed over for promotions in favor of male counterparts:
  • Approximately 23% fewer female vice presidents received promotions to managing director positions than male vice presidents.

Goldman Sachs continues to deny all allegations and reportedly claims that the case lacks merit. In March, Reuters reported on the recommendation of a federal magistrate to deny the class action certification. He reportedly based his decision on a lack of commonality amongst proposed class members. A U.S. District judge will make the final decision.
