Arizona readers may be interested to learn that 21st Century Fox has announced the settlement of multiple discrimination lawsuits filed against it by more than a dozen current and former employees. The entertainment and news giant agreed to pay around $10 million to a total of 18 plaintiffs, but it denied all the allegations.<\/p>\n

According to media reports, the cases settled included a 2017 class action racial discrimination suit brought by several Fox accounting department employees and an anchor for Fox News. They also included a 2017 suit brought by a Fox News Radio reporter who alleged gender discrimination and a 2016 suit brought by a former reporter for a New York Fox affiliate who accused the company of gender, pregnancy and race discrimination.<\/p>\n

The settlement agreement stipulates that the plaintiffs are required to drop their legal claims, terminate their employment with the company and agree to never seek a position with any 21st Century Fox companies in the future. According to a joint statement issued by Fox News and a lawyer representing the plaintiffs, all parties involved in the suits have mutually agreed to settle their claims.<\/p>\n

Arizona employees are protected from on-the-job discrimination by a number of state and federal laws. Employees who have experienced illegal job discrimination<\/a> may be able to rectify the situation by contacting an attorney familiar with employment law claims. One possible solution could be to file a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission as a way to initiate the case.<\/p>\n
