Disney Faces Mounting Legal Woes as Thousands of Women Sue for Pay Disparity

Disney is facing a growing class action lawsuit filed by nearly 9,000 female workers who allege pay discrimination. Newly unsealed court filings reveal internal emails where a supervisor expressed frustration over the denial of a promotion for a female employee, highlighting the inequity in opportunities for career advancement. The lawsuit challenges Disney's claims of equitable pay for women and men. A judge recently certified the class, which is believed to be one of the largest ever suing under an equal pay act claim. The case is set to go to trial in October.
