据《华尔街日报》报道，美国加州民权部（前身为公平就业和住房部）在2021年曾指控动视暴雪存在广泛的性别歧视、薪酬不平等现象。而在当地时间周五（15日），双方达成了约5400万美元的和解协议。根据仍需法院批准的和解协议，动视暴雪将采取更多措施确保公司的薪酬和晋升做法公平，并为2015年10月12日至2020年12月31日期间在当地担任员工或合同工的女性提供补偿。若法院批准和解协议，动视暴雪将支付约5487.5万美元用于直接向工人提供救济、诉讼费用，其中超过4500万美元（当前约3.2亿美元）将被用于补偿工人的“和解基金”。
加州民权部表示，和解协议是双方为解决性别歧视和薪酬不平等问题而做出的努力。动视暴雪再次否认指控，并表示将采取措施确保公司做法公平。这起诉讼可能也是微软前段时间最终收购动视暴雪的催化剂之一，因为动视的股价曾一度大跌。
英文标题：Activision Blizzard reaches $540 million settlement agreement with California Department of Rights
关键词：Activision Blizzard, settlement agreement, California Department of Rights
英文翻译：Activision Blizzard has reached a settlement agreement with the California Department of Rights over gender discrimination and wage inequality allegations. The agreement, which is still subject to court approval, requires the company to take additional measures to ensure fair compensation and promotion practices, and to provide compensation to female employees or contractors who were employed or worked under contract from October 12, 2015 to December 31, 2020. The company will pay a total of $5487.5 million to workers, with $4500 million going towards a “compensation fund” for affected employees. The California Department of Rights said the settlement agreement is a result of the joint efforts of both parties to resolve the issue of gender discrimination and wage inequality. Activision Blizzard once again denied the allegations and said it will take measures to ensure fair practices. This lawsuit may also have been a factor in Microsoft’s recent acquisition of Activision Blizzard, as the company’s stock price had一度 fallen significantly.
