Wells Fargo Reaches Wachovia Gender Discrimination Class Action Settlement
By Sarah Pierce
The Wachovia gender discrimination class action lawsuit was filed two years ago by three employees of Wachovia Securities who alleged the company had systematically denied equal employment opportunities to its female financial advisors since 2003, keeping women from moving into more “prestigious roles” or management positions.
The Wells Fargo Wachovia gender discrimination class action settlement covers the following class of women:
(1) All women who were employed in the United States as a financial advisor by Wachovia Securities, LLC or its successor Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC at any time between March 17, 2003 and January 25, 2011; and/or Wells Fargo Investments, LLC at any time between December 31, 2008 and January 25, 2011.
(2) All women who were employed in the United States as a financial advisor by A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. between October 1, 2007 and January 25, 2011.
(3) All women who were employed in the United States as a financial advisor by Prudential Securities, Inc. between July 1, 2003 and January 25, 2011.
Class members of the Wachovia gender discrimination settlement can file a claim to receive cash payments by submitting a claim form postmarked no later than June 20, 2011. (*NOTE: A previous notice was mailed to class members in February with dates and deadlines that were later revised by the Court. A second mailing was issued March 21 with the amended claim form deadline of June 20).
