Google is facing a lawsuit brought by the US Department of Labour which is seeking access to the firm’s compensation data. The company has failed to submit information about its equal opportunity program, despite a request from the Office of Federal Contract Compliance (OFCCP) in September 2015. In an email sent on Monday to employees and obtained by TechCrunch, Google’s head of diversity, Danielle Brown, said that she was “deeply concerned” with the lawsuit. The company claims that the documents in question "are over broad in scope, or reveal confidential data”.
