Plaintiffs in the 14-year legal battle say Goldman let managers make biased pay decisions and denied women opportunities they deserved. The closely-watched case includes of a class of over 3,000 women. They contend that 1,200 of the claims should be removed from the arbitration pool, as the bank waited too long to press for arbitration in some cases and got women to sign improper agreements in exchange for stock awards and other compensation.
