Workday asks judge to block class action over AI hiring screening
Workday has asked a federal judge in San Francisco to deny class certification in Mobley v. Workday, a suit alleging its AI screening tools discriminate by race, sex, age and disability. Workday argues it does not make hiring decisions, since its customers do, and that customer-specific configurations defeat common evidence. The case was filed in February 2023; an age-discrimination collective was preliminarily certified in May 2025 and more than 15,000 people had opted in by October 2026. A certification hearing is scheduled for March 9, 2027.
