A federal judge dismissed much of a former Sony PlayStation employee's gender discrimination lawsuit against the gaming giant on Thursday, but is giving her an opportunity to make a stronger case.In a 20-page order, U.S. magistrate judge Laurel Beeler dismissed 10 of ex-worker Emma Majo's 13 claims without prejudice, including those focused on pay discrimination and harassment.
"For example, she does not describe her work or how her work was substantially equal to the work of any male allegedly paid more than she was paid. " Sony had discriminated against female employees for years, she said, paying them less and subjecting them " to a work culture predominated by men.”Throughout her ruling, Beeler echoed Sony's assertion that Majo simply didn't present enough facts to make her case.
