Workday asks a federal judge to block certification of classes of job applicants alleging racial, sex, age and disability discrimination in automated hiring screening. The company argues that its customers, not Workday, make hiring decisions and that customer-specific configurations prevent the existence of common evidence. The case, filed in 2023, covers four subclasses and is led by Derek L. Mobley, who says he was rejected from more than 100 job applications. An age-discrimination collective was preliminarily certified in May 2025 and had more than 15,000 members by October 2026. A certification hearing is scheduled for March 9, 2027, following Workday’s motions filed on November 10 and 11, 2026.
