The settlement stems from a 2019 lawsuit brought by a woman who worked for Disney. She claimed six men with the same job title earned substantially more than her, including one man with several years less experience, who was earning $20,000 more than she did annually.

About 9,000 women who were current or former employees joined the lawsuit.
As part of the settlement, Disney must hire a labor economist to analyze pay equity among full-time, non-union California employees below the vice president level for three years and fix the differences. The settlement still has to be approved by a judge before it’s official.
