Facing charges of sexist discrimination and harassment, the American bank Goldman Sachs will pay 215 million dollars to 3,000 former and current employees to file a class action lawsuit against her, according to a statement issued late last night.

The agreement covers approximately 2,800 employees in the positions of partners and vice presidents, in New York, from July 2002 until the end of March 2023, and elsewhere in the US, from September 2004 until the end of March 2023, according to the joint statement published Goldman Sachs along with the plaintiffs’ counsel.

The trial against the US investment bank on the class action was set for June 5. The original lawsuit against Goldman Sachs was filed in 2010.

The bank was accused of 75 cases inappropriate behavior in the workplace (gestures, inappropriate comments, invitations to sexual relations) as well as salary discrimination and denial of promotion to female employees due to their gender.

“My goal in this case has always been to support the powerful women of Wall Street,” one of the plaintiffs, Alison Gamba, said in the statement.

After one decade of intense litigation, the two sides agreed to resolve the issue. We will continue to focus on our teams, clients and operations, Goldman Sachs said in the joint statement
