Apple must face a potential class action alleging that Apple had a policy of paying men higher salaries than women for similar work.

Apple tried and failed to argue that pay disparities for individual female workers suing were "justified" and that their circumstances were not common.

California Superior Court Judge Ethan P. Schulman agreed with employees suing that there was a "reasonable possibility" that thousands of women experienced similar unequal pay and discrimination.
