As mentioned in Hilary Howard’s 2011 New York Times article, “Vibrators Carry the Conversation,” (2011), vibrators can now be purchased at mainstream drugstores. Despite the accessibility of vibrators and other sex toys, open discussion of women’s orgasms and sexual pleasure is rare.

Strategic Compensation Case Analysis:

U.S. women’s soccer team’s wage discrimination lawsuit

In 2019, twenty-eight members of the U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT) filed a gender discrimination lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation. Players sued in March 2019 under the Equal Pay Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and they sought more than $66 million in damages.

The main complaints from the players involve claims of wage discrimination. The petitioners pointed out that men’s national team receives a $5,000 bonus for a loss in a friendly match, while women receive nothing for a loss or a draw. However, when the teams win, the men receive as much as $17,625, but women only receive $1,350. Further, in 2011, when the women placed second in their World Cup, they were awarded $1.8 million, split evenly among the 24 players on the team. The men’s team made it only to the round of 16 that year; however, they were awarded $5 million. In 2014, when Germany won the Men’s World Cup, the US team was awarded $35 million by FIFA, while the women received 5% of that for their Cup victory in 2015.

Their claims affect not only their paychecks but also where they play and how often, how they train, the medical treatment and coaching they receive, and even how they travel to matches. In May 2020, U.S. District Judge R. Gary Klausner summarily dismissed the unequal pay portion of the lawsuit.

Instructions

Given the US-Canada proximity, assume that the Chief Executive Officer of the Canada Soccer Association contacted your team as external management consultants and in the initial briefing meeting, the CEO mentioned that he expects your team to achieve the following 3 objectives:

1)Lead and guide the federation in doing a complete review of the US federation’s compensation strategies and outline the main issues with the policy (This is the problem Identification Section of the report)

2)Had this been a Canadian case – what compensation policies and practices—salary, incentive plans, and benefits—would help to produce the player behaviors federation needs to achieve? (This is a strategic policy plan section– hence you are required to reflect on mistakes from US federation’s compensation and recommend an updated/modified compensation plan for Canadian Soccer Association)

3) What impact this potential future compensation plan will have on labour agreements with soccer players (both men and women) in Canada. In this question, focus on how can the Canadian Soccer Association incorporate the following legal considerations when formulating future strategies and plans? (This is the Results section of a report – with this no formal conclusion is needed)

-employment/labor laws

-pay equity acts

-human rights acts

-other legislation

-union agreements

Note: Conduct research to get information on the lawsuit and all other missing information (e.g., the Federation strategic goals).

EXPECTATIONS: write a business report in a logical manner for the Chief Executive Officer of the Canada Soccer Association

The report should follow this format
