This week, the fight for fair and transparent hiring took a major step forward. A federal court has ruled that a lawsuit against Workday — centered on allegations that its AI hiring systems discriminated against older, disabled, and minority applicants — may proceed as a class and collective action.
For millions rejected by automated systems without explanation, this moment offers more than just legal recognition — it offers hope.
At AERI, we’ve heard countless stories of job seekers — overqualified, experienced, and still invisible to algorithmic gatekeepers.
This case proves what we’ve long known: the system is flawed, and real lives are being harmed.
To those who've been filtered out, shut out, or spoken over — your voice matters.
To lawmakers and employers: the time for accountability is now.
To allies and advocates: stand with us.
📣 We will not stop until transparency, consent, and fairness are built into every algorithm shaping our future.
