Thomas R. Basta, Associate in Fox Rothschild's Roseland, NJ office, published recently on our Employment Discrimination Report, " USWNT: Complaints of Being Kicked to the Curb by US Soccer."
An excerpt from the post:
"There are really two issues to the suit filed by lead plaintiffs Alex Morgan, Hope Solo, Carli Lloyd (she of the World Cup hat trick), Megan Rapinoe, and Becky Sauerbrunn, which are applicable to any workplace. First, are they similar situated to Tim Howard, Clint Dempsey, & Co. on the Men's team? And second, if the answer is yes, do the profit centers of each particular team mandate that they be paid in accordance with them? Attorneys for the USWNT offer an emphatic yes to both questions, arguing that the team has been more profitable than the Men's team for years."
