Google said Thursday that it will no longer bar employees from suing the company over discrimination or wrongful termination, or from joining together in class-action suits.

The change will end Google’s policy of forcing employees to litigate such disputes in arbitration, where hearings are typically closed, and the arbitrators are paid for by the company. Critics say arbitration allows sexual harassers to prey on multiple victims because of the secrecy.
