US Women Soccer Players to Receive $24M in Equal Pay Lawsuit Settlement
U.S. women have won four World Cups since the program’s start in 1985, while the men haven’t reached a semifinal since 1930.
The sides settled the working conditions portion in December 2020, dealing with issues such as charter flights, accommodations and playing surfaces. They were scheduled to argue on March 7 before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in an attempt to reinstate the equal pay portion thrown out by a U.S. District Court.
While a labor contract remains to be reached and ratified to replace the deal that expires March 31, the settlement was an enormous step. The $22 million will be split into individual amounts proposed by the players, subject to the District Court’s approval.
