Disney to Pay $43 Million to Settle Class Action Over Gender Pay Gap
Disney has agreed to pay $43 million to resolve allegations that it systematically paid women lower salaries than men received.
The suit was filed in 2019, alleging that Disney policies — including basing a new hire’s salary on their pay at their previous employer — resulted in discrimination against women. In December 2023, Judge Elihu Berle granted class status to 9,000 women in the case who were suing under the California Equal Pay Act, which was considerably strengthened in 2016 under Gov. The women in the class were non-union, salaried employees who worked at Disney’s theme parks, cruise ships, and film and TV studios, including ABC, Marvel and Lucasfilm.
