Three Amazon employees have filed a lawsuit against the company, alleging gender discrimination and chronic pay inequity. The employees claim that Amazon assigns lower job titles and salaries to female staff members compared to their male counterparts in similar roles. They also accuse the company of failing to promote women, resulting in similar work being performed for less compensation.

The law will help applicants know what they're applying for and benefit employers who pay competitive wages. However, some are skeptical about whether the law will make a difference in pay inequity and discrimination.

"Gender Discrimination Lawsuit Targets Pokémon Go Developer Niantic"

Niantic, the developer of Pokémon Go, is facing a lawsuit alleging a "systemic sexual bias" against women employees. The lawsuit claims that the company devalues the work of its female employees, favors male employees, underpays women, and pushes out those who speak out against these conditions. The plaintiff, a former employee, discovered she was being paid less than a male colleague in a lower job title. The lawsuit also highlights a hostile response from management when concerns about sexism and pay inequity were raised. Niantic's Chief Marketing Officer allegedly required the removal of references to a "Boys Club" and other comments about sexism from an employee resource group's presentation.
