Two ex-Niantic employees are taking the Pokémon Go maker to court over claims of sexual bias in the workplace.
The plaintiffs argue that Niantic’s own arbitration agreement excludes claims involving sexual bias, and that the matter should be heard in court.
The lawsuit is set to be contested in Los Angeles tomorrow by Niantic, which is seeking to dismiss the case and move the matter into arbitration – something the company claims its former employees previously agreed to.
The anonymous ex-employee also alleged that they had been told their pay was lower because they had raised concerns about sexual bias within the company.
