Four former Google employees, who previously worked in a range of roles at the company, have come forward as part of a revised gender-pay lawsuit filed on Wednesday.
Three of the women were part of an earlier lawsuit filed in September alleging that female employees are paid less than their male counterparts. That suit was dismissed in December by a California judge who rejected the class action claim as overly broad.
This newly filed suit more clearly defines the groups allegedly hindered by Google's unfair pay practices, including engineering, management, sales, and teaching roles.
The new suit adds a fourth former female worker, Heidi Lamar, who was employed by Google as a teacher at Google's Children Center in Palo Alto from around July 2013 to August 2017. Google offers childcare and early education as a perk for its employees.
Lamar claims that of the 150 teachers employed by Google during her tenure, just three were men. Two of the men hired were paid more than all but one of the women hired, she alleges.

For being as "liberal" as google is, they still play hardball with the negotiations with female employees. It's hard enough being harassed by the socially inept nerds (who make the rest of the normal guys look bad), but google is still taking advantage of women being traditionally paid less than men.
