PFAS Mesh Talc Breast Explant Zantac CA Labor? Claims of Rampant Gender Wage Discrimination at DisneyLos Angeles, CA A two-year old California labor lawsuit just took a new turn. Plaintiffs in
Rasmussen v. Disney have been permitted to amend their complaint to add allegations that Disney “maintains a strict policy of pay secrecy” in violation of California labor law.

Pay secrecy is thought to hurt female workers because it deprives them of the information they need to demand equal pay.
