I'm glad the boys' club is finally getting the reckoning it deserves. This is a win.
This finding is absolutely appalling:
"Neumark studied pay disparities at Nike using data the company provided to Hender’s attorneys during discovery. He concluded Nike had a gender pay gap of more than $11,000 per employee between 2015 and 2019."
They are appealing the denial of class status. This could be really big. Nike had a practice of paying people (not just women) their starting salary based upon their prior role’s pay. This caused many people to be paid below the minimum for their role. In 2018 7,000 employees were leveled up to the minimum. Because women tend to bear the brunt of the pay disparity, effectively this is the class of women who have been underpaid. Does it make sense to bring tenured employees to the minimum? They tried to call that good, but the reality is that it’s a boy’s club (in crowd/out crowd) mentality and they need to protect the men who decided they could “tinker” around with women.
It’s amazing how white women hijacked the woke movement and swung their Gucci-booted feet over the fence of oppression and stuck themselves at the front of the line.
@b6 Let’s not pretend all women at Nike got the same treatment. The company loved to market feminism, but in practice it often looked like favoritism disguised as progress. Funny how the loudest champions of ‘inclusion’ always seemed to be included.
@b6 the handbag mafia
This is a perfect example why you need to document everything!!!
@b6
Don't know why you are being down voted. This has been exactly my experience in the last 6 years as well. All promotions around me have been white women.
Oregon allows punitive damages in personal injury cases, but they are rare and require proof of egregious or intentional misconduct by the defendant. Additionally, 70% of any awarded punitive damages must be paid to the state.
The tables have turned so get over it.. if you don’t think women are getting PAID at Nike, more than men in many cases, you’re wrong. Women have the upper hand in any promotion #MeToo cry more
@at This take is exactly what’s wrong with Nike.
This is not something that is of the past - it continues to be the case.
Bring back the boys club culture, only single reason why Nike was thriving at the time
@a7 oh wait till they get a load of Indian take over. It's bad enough three quarters of the resumes don't prove real once they get a visa
Imagine if they ever shined a light on Nikes DEI program and multiple overpaid changing heads. JS and all his successors have been a joke. And talk about discrimination….JS lead DEI and used his power and connections for evil against Nike employees
@a7 It wasn’t just white men. Nike’s leadership managed to replace one flavor of corporate politics with another. Instead of obsessing over product, performance, and building the next great innovation, the conversation became about optics, internal programs, celebrity partnerships, and whatever was trending that quarter. The result? A company that once obsessed over making the best gear for athletes now spends more time chasing cultural relevance and lifestyle branding. When your biggest strategic debates revolve around collaborations and marketing buzz instead of breakthrough products, don’t be surprised when innovation starts looking like a PowerPoint presentation.
Good for her for standing her ground and making them go to trial!! Su-k it, Nike.
Now it’s the opposite, with white men being discriminated against:

@OP I think that this might empower employees to come forward knowing that Nike HR and Legal won’t protect us, but the truth doesn’t lie. Put it in the hands of a jury and Nike looks like the fool. The boys club is still out there! JM is #1! Nothing has changed.
Nike clearly still hasn’t learned its lesson.
