Signet Jewelers Announces a $175 Million Gender Bias Settlement

Signet Jewelers on Thursday announced a $175 million settlement of long-running gender bias litigation, resolving claims on behalf of 68,000 female Sterling Jewelers employees that the retailer paid women less and promoted them less often than men.
