$11.5 Million Settlement Reached In Racial Glass Ceiling Case Against Kaiser

Kaiser recently settled a class action case that alleged the company had a racial glass ceiling that prevented Black employees from getting promotions and equal pay. Kaiser will pay approximately $11.5 million to resolve the case although the court still needs to approve the settlement. This case unfolds as corporate America continues to wrestle with the "concrete ceiling" that excludes many Black employees from higher-level positions and helps provide a better understanding of the potential underlying causes.
