A California judge at a hearing Wednesday morning in downtown Los Angeles ruled that a class action lawsuit alleging that Disney pays women less than men for substantially similar work could proceed
, rejecting Disney’s argument that the ten women bringing suit failed to demonstrate that their cases had enough in common with those of potentially thousands of company employees or that the named plaintiffs’ cases were typical of others’ in the class.
In effect, Buckley’s ruling holds that Disney’s workforce is not too heterogeneous for the pay equity question to be addressed as a class action. “Because Disney’s pay practices negatively affect their female co-workers throughout the state, Plaintiffs bring this case as a class action,” states the amended complaint.“The Walt Disney Company described in Plaintiffs’ Complaint is not The Walt Disney Company that exists in fact and law,” states the defendant’s demurrer.
