Livermore Labs sex discrimination class action settlement

Law.com carries this article by Jahna Berry for The Recorder:

“3,200 Women to Get $9.7M in California Lab Settlement.”

“University of California regents agreed Wednesday to pay $9.7 million in damages to 3,200 past and present female workers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory — the largest such agreement in lab history.”

“The plaintiffs attorneys may take home $8.2 million — nearly half — of the $18 million agreement to settle the massive sex discrimination class action. Filed in 1998, the case alleged that women were paid less and promoted less often than their male colleagues at the UC-run lab.”
