Case Summary

On October 29, 2008, four current and former female employees of Dell, Inc. filed a lawsuit against Dell under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Pay Act, and the Fair Labor Standards Act, in the Northern District of California. Plaintiffs sought class action certification for a class of similarly situated female employees company-wide. Represented by private counsel, they sought declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as monetary damages in excess of $500,000,000. Plaintiffs alleged, as individual and class action claims, that Dell had engaged in systemic sex and age discrimination perpetrated through discriminatory compensation and placement, discriminatory denials of promotions and pay raises, and discriminatory terminations. Individually, Plaintiffs each alleged retaliation for their complaints to the company regarding gender discrimination. Specifically, two Plaintiffs claimed that they were maliciously denied bonuses and targeted for the company's April 2008 mass layoffs, when they were terminated while the company retained less qualified men. The two other Plaintiffs claimed Dell failed to provide them with equal pay or promote them.

On November 13, 2008, Dell requested the case be transferred to the Western District of Texas. Dell argued that an ongoing case in that jurisdiction (Hubley v. Dell, Inc., EE-TX-0463 on this site) was filed by a different class representative whose similar putative class action claims encompassed the claims in the instant case. Each of the Plaintiffs in Chapman were also subject to a forum selection clause in their employment agreement that required all arbitration to be conducted in the Western District of Texas. On December 17, 2008, all parties agreed to transfer the case.

(Plaintiffs subsequently requested that Hubley v. Dell be stayed until the outcome of the instant case. This motion was never ruled on.)

On May 20, 2009, the parties informed the court that a settlement had been reached. On July 13, 2009, the court granted Plaintiffs' request to dismiss the case with prejudice. The settlement agreement is not available.
