According to Google’s spokesperson, they have provided thousands of records over the last year to comply with OFCCP’s audit.
He Said:
The handful of OFCCP requests that are the subject of the complaint are overbroad in scope, or reveal confidential data, and we’ve made this clear to the OFCCP, to no avail
The OFCCP said it would ask the court to cancel all of Google’s current government contracts and to debar the company from entering into future contracts if it failed to comply.
OFCCP Director Thomas M. Dowd said:
Despite many opportunities to produce this information voluntarily, Google has refused to do so. We filed this lawsuit so we can obtain the information we need to complete our evaluation
Like other technologies firms, Google is more interested to emphasis on how to increase diversity in its work force in terms of gender and equality. More diverse teams shows greater creativity and best results.
