WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, America First Legal (AFL) announced it has reached a settlement agreement with Ally Financial in its lawsuit challenging the company’s unlawful race- and sex-based employment practices.
AFL filed the lawsuit on June 4, 2024, on behalf of its client, alleging that Ally Financial engaged in unlawful race- and sex-based discrimination, violating the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
In public filings, Ally Financial openly admitted to illegal race- and sex-based “balancing” and rewarding executive leaders for prioritizing a “specific focus on representation and diversity trends within the workforce.” The company also reported demographic data as a measure of DEI “progress” in its Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, suggesting it may have pursued illegal race- and sex-based quotas.
Following AFL’s lawsuit, Ally Financial removed references and commitments to its DEI programs in its publicly available corporate filings, including its SEC Form-10K.
AFL will keep fighting to hold major corporations across the country accountable for illegal discrimination against American workers.
Statement from Andrew Block, America First Legal Senior Counsel:
“AFL is proud to have brought this lawsuit to vindicate our client’s rights and to defend the principle of equal treatment under the law. We are pleased to have reached a mutually agreed-upon settlement in this case,” said Andrew Block.
