The complaint alleges “Oracle suppressed starting salaries for its female and non-White employees, assigned them to lower level positions and depressed their wages over the years they worked at Oracle.” These practices caused the employees to miss out on a total of $400 million in compensation, the Department of Labor said in the filing.
The Department of Labor also alleged Oracle has a strong preference for hiring Asian recent college graduates, saying about 90 percent of its 500 college and university hires between 2013 and 2016 were Asian, while the overall targeted college and university population is about 65 percent Asian. The complaint alleges Oracle preferred hiring Asian visa-holders, more specifically, which it says “lends itself to suppression of that workforce’s wages” since visa-holders are dependent on Oracle for work authorization in the U.S.
The complaint also alleges Oracle “destroyed records relating to its hiring process as the case was ongoing.”
