equal pay

The U.S. Soccer Federation is offering the men's and women's senior national teams the same pay structure, years after the women's team filed a major lawsuit over equal pay concerns.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Women's National Team says they'll appeal in their quest to receive compensation on par with the men's team. Other claims in the lawsuit will go to trial.

The deal will lift salaries for the Matildas by 90% and promises parity in training and travel. Norway and New Zealand have made similar moves, as a lawsuit against U.S. Soccer continues.

The action comes 28 years after the country's first national strike for women's rights. Estimates suggest Swiss women make about 20 percent less than men, and many women say they're fed up.

After #MeToo, many employment attorneys say they've seen the number of pay-disparity cases spike, and employers are having to adapt by conducting investigations and pay audits.

The media giant admitted to underpaying former China editor, Carrie Gracie. Both parties have decided on a settlement that is touted as a win in the fight against the gender wage gap.

America's continuing gender pay gap is "an embarrassing reality of our economy," the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said.

The prominent male presenters agreed to pay cuts after the network's China editor, Carrie Gracie, abruptly resigned as head of the Beijing bureau, accusing the BBC of promulgating gender pay inequity.
