NEW YORK: US multinational Procter & Gamble gave its backing to the United States' women's soccer stars in their fight for equal pay on Sunday , handing the team a US$529,000 bonus following their World Cup win.
"After all the toasts, cheers, parades and awards subside, the issue remains. Inequality is about more than pay and players, it's about values," the P&G advert read. The advert urged all"fellow fans, friends, supporters, organisations and brands" to fight for gender pay parity.The P&G move comes with the US women in the midst of a legal case lodged against the USSF in March alleging discrimination.
"The USSF discriminates against Plaintiffs, and the class that they seek to represent, by paying them less than members of the MNT for substantially equal work," the lawsuit read.
