" \n Google is under investigation for the way it allegedly treats black female workers \n \n\n \n Google is under investigation for the way it treats Black women workers, Reuters reported Friday. \n \n\n \n California's civil rights regulator, the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, has interviewed multiple Black women who have worked for Google's parent firm Alphabet, Reuters reported, citing two sources and agency emails. \n \n\n \n The emails viewed by Reuters said the interviews have centered on alleged harassment and discrimination in the workplace. One of the sources told Reuters at least one interview happened as recently as last month. \n \n\n \n The two sources told Reuters the DFEH is interviewing both employees who filed official complaints and employees who didn't, suggesting the department is casting a broad net in its enquiries. \n \n\n \n The DFEH did not immediately respond to an email sent by Insider outside of business hours asking for comment. It declined to comment when contacted by Reuters. \n \n\n \n \"Our goal is to ensure that every employee experiences Google as an inclusive workplace,\" Google said when contacted by Reuters, adding: \"We'll continue to focus on this important work and thoroughly investigate any concerns, to make sure our workplace is representative and equitable.\" \n \n\n \n Read: US to help grow franchise brands in Ghana \u2013 Stephanie Sullivan \n \n\n \n Google did not immediately comment when contacted by Insider about Reuters' report. \n \n\n \n Google has faced public scrutiny over its treatment of Black employees. Timnit Gebru, one of Google's leading AI researchers, departed the company in December last year.

It's most of these institutions in general, and specifically in the tech companies, are institutionally racist,\" Gebru told the BBC. \n \n\n \n Google employees told NBC in March that after they complained about racism and sexism at the company, they were told to take mental health leave . In September, a Black Google employee said he was stopped by security staff who didn't believe he worked for the company . \n "
