Former Disney Lawyer Sues Company for Discrimination and Retaliation
A former lawyer for Disney, Alisa Clairet, is suing the company.
She says that Disney paid her less than a man doing the same job.
When she complained, she says the company ignored her.
She was later fired, and believes this was because she spoke up about the pay gap.
This lawsuit is similar to a previous case where Disney was sued for paying female employees less, which the company settled.
Clairet is now seeking compensation for the pay difference and other damages.
