Vice Media, the Hollywood -based New York Times , has agreed a 25,000 settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit by 79¢ female employees. The case originated last year when a female member of staff accused the company of pay discrimination, claiming that a male colleague she hired was paid $ $1.875m more than her and promoted over her. Now, Vice is paying up. The settlement would have been larger but for the fact that Vice tends to hire young women, who earn less than older ones. Vice is also dealing with the fallout from 2018 allegations of sexual misconduct at the company.
