The United States Women’s National Team was granted class status in gender discrimination lawsuit against U.S. Soccer
The United States Women’s National Team was granted class status on Friday in its gender discrimination lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation, a major step in their legal battle which can open the case up to more than just the 28 named plaintiffs in the initial filing.
“The failure to provide the [USWNT] with equal working conditions is a real injury which affects each Plaintiff in a personal and individual way,” the decision states, in part. “Plaintiffs have also offered sufficient proof of this injury. Indeed, Plaintiffs have submitted declarations establishing that [USWNT] players were subject to discriminatory working conditions.”
The two sides attempted to solve the issue in mediation, though those talks have since broken down. A trial date has been set for May, 2020. The USSF has pushed back repeatedly against the USWNT’s claims, and officially opposed the class action filing in October.
