Disney must disclose information related to 'secret' pay equity study, court rules:
In 2017, consultants were hired to study pay equity at the Mickey Mouse giant. Disney asserts attorney-client privilege, but a judge says, "Not so fast."to conduct a statistical analysis of pay data to prove gender disparities they allege occur throughout the studio's workforce. It turns out that Disney had already hired consultants in 2017 to study the issue.
The plaintiffs in the case — a range of women who say they are paid less than men who perform similar work — have been attempting to compel documents related to the study. In a motion, they asserted that these documents"would tend to show that Disney systematically discriminates against female employees, and that the discrimination is knowing and willful."
The judge then goes through chapter and verse on when there's no presumption of confidentiality before deeming Disney's privilege logs to be insufficient.
