The US Women's World Cup soccer team alleges that the US Soccer Federation violated the Equal Pay Act and Title VII by paying the women’s team less than the men’s team for doing equal work.
This past week the USWNT and the Time’sUp movement further aligned to help raise awareness about—and funding for—the fight for equal pay across all different workplaces, as reported by the“It doesn’t matter what industry you’re in or what status you have: The pay gap is prevalent for all women,” said U.S. defender Becky Sauerbrunn, 34, in a telephoneEqual Pay Act and Title VII Legal Frameworks To Prove Wage Discrimination case under the EPA.
Title VII also makes it illegal to discriminate based on sex in pay and benefits, which is why the USWNT is also suing USSF under this law. Title VII prohibits discrimination in compensation and other terms and conditions of employment, so it has a broader reach than the EPA .The USWNT’s complaint contains evidence and statistics supporting their argument that the USSF has unlawfully paid them less than the men’s soccer team.
The USWNT is the preeminent women’s soccer team in the world and has contributed to the finances and reputation of the USSF at least as much as the USMNT. The complaint lists three World Cup titles , four Olympic gold medals, and asserts that the USSF revised its projected earnings for 2016 from a net loss of $429,929, to a net gain of $17.7 million, because of the successes of the USWNT, particularly at the 2015 World Cup.
The USSF pays the women's team less than the men's team, despite requiring players on both teams to perform the same job duties that require equal skill, effort and responsibilities performed under similar working conditions. The complaint states that the women's team players spend more time practicing, playing, and promoting the USSF than the men's team does; indeed, from 2015 to 2018, the USWNT played in nineteen more games than the USMNT.
In addition, the complaint asserts that from 2013 to 2016, the USSF paid USWNT players $15,000 for trying out and making the World Cup team. Yet the USSF paid USMNT players $55,000 for making the team.losswonFinally, the USWNT received less favorable training and travel conditions, as well as reduced marketing for their games.
