  1. #SanFrancisco Superior Court #Judge rejects #Cupertino based #AppleComputer #legal efforts to stifle female #employee #lawsuit over alleged illegal #SexDiscrimination.

    A female employee discovered a male colleague’s #TaxReturn form that showed him making $10k more for performing the same job title, a violation of California's landmark #EqualPayAct . Another #litigant hired a third party firm to investigate her #WageClaims and proved she was receiving less pay than male colleagues, and when Apple agreed to her raise, refused her any #BackPay for the years during which she was consistently paid less than men performing similar work.

    The court found #Plaintiffs had sufficiently alleged that Apple’s #salary decisions were made in a centralized location pursuant to a #chauvinistic #employment compensation scheme that clearly perpetuates pay disparities due to #GenderBias.

    The lawsuit could receive #ClassAction status as there are more than 12,000 female #APPL employees in #California potentially impacted by secret pact under ultimate leadership of #TimCook and cabal of other misogynistic policy enforcing execs.

    #Plaintiff #legalteam include lawyers from three firms: Altshuler Berzon LLP, Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC, and Outten & Golden LLP.

  6. A #Venezuelan govt controlled bank in #Miami was embattled in a #shareholder court case with #political implications that challenged directors of the #banking empire connected to the #Maduro regime. A #jury found on June 27 that two directors breached their fiduciary duty of care to the bank and hit them with a fine, but a fraction of the $27 million sought by #litigants. “The jury only awarded damages amounting to less than 3% of what the plaintiffs were seeking—$800,000, instead of the $27 million requested at trial. That’s essentially a slap on the wrist from the jury,” said defense #counsel Evan Stroman, a partner at #DiazReus.

    “Any day where you help prevent an illegal authoritarian regime in #Venezuela from penetrating the United States banking system and hold those accountable for assisting that regime is a good day,” Derek E. León, the #plaintiffs' attorney, said.

  11. I wish #plaintiffs success with their #ClassAction #Lawsuit against #HP, however ....

    We (as a consumer base) have known HP makes shit printers, and they treat their customers even worse.

    We (consumers) have known about this for close to 20 years.

    No one forces anybody to buy HP printers, and it's not like there aren't alternatives such as
    #Brother or #Canon or #Samsung, etc. None of which treat their customers as bad as HP treats theirs.

    I've been buying Brother laser printers for over 15 years, and Brother could give two fucks which brand of toner or drum cartridge I use in my laser printer.

    So I have to wonder how many of these plaintiffs didn't bring this on themselves.

    Vote with your wallet people. Friends don't let friends buy HP printers!
