Summary Box: 3 female ex-employees allege bias
BIAS SUIT AGAINST GOLDMAN: Three women who formerly worked at Goldman Sachs & Co. are suing the big Wall Street firm for what they say is rampant gender discrimination that unfairly favors men in pay and promotions.
SEEKING DAMAGES, GROUP STATUS: The three are asking a federal judge to certify the case as a class-action suit on behalf of Goldman’s women employees. They also are seeking damages from Goldman for lost income and emotional distress they say they’ve suffered.
GOLDMAN REJECTS ALLEGATIONS: A Goldman spokesman said the women’s lawsuit had no merit.
