Oracle America Inc. was sued by the Obama administration over claims it pays white, male workers more than other colleagues doing the same jobs.
The company’s compensation policies discriminate against women and black and Asian employees, the U.S. Labor Department said in an administrative complaint filed Wednesday. The agency also alleged Oracle favors hiring Asian workers for product development and other technical jobs.
