OUR CLASS WAS CERTIFIED IN ELLIS V. GOOGLE!

This means the judge agreed we can sue as a class, rather than each individual woman needing to sue for relief. This is HUGE.

The class includes over 10,800 women affected by Google's gender bias.

This is super-interesting to me, partly because I went to some of the hearings in the Microsoft gender case that failed to get class certification (didn't really meet the high standard set in Walmart v Dukes). https://t.co/N03qPeeBLq

Women have experienced pay inequity as a class, so it makes sense that they be allowed to sue as a class.

Female workers at Google earn $16,800 less than the "similarly situated man," largely stemming from Google's past use of previous salary to set pay.https://t.co/hi7fyV2kL7
