The U.S. Department of Labor has filed a court action against Oracle for underpaying non-white male employees by as much as $400 million. “Oracle suppressed starting salaries for its female and non-White employees, assigned them to lower level positions and depressed their wages over the years they worked for Oracle,” states a court filing. Based on a preliminary analysis, “Oracle’s method of compensating employees for their work resulted in losses of more than $400 million for female, black and Asian employees.”
