Publisher's Synopsis
The story of Women's Soccer's fight for equal pay as chronicled by counsel and leader of the USWNT's Players Association.
In All Things Being Equal, Rich Nichols-former counsel for Women's Soccer-teams up with USA Today's Sam Yip to detail what transpired during the players' fight for equal pay. Nichols argues that, when deep in the proverbial red zone, the team ultimately lacked the strength and resolve to solidify true equal pay.
The book serves as a wake-up call to show future generations of young girls-and then some-the level of personal and professional commitment required to achieve true equality for women in the workplace. The reader will feel armed with the tools needed to find a seat at the equal pay negotiating table-a chance to observe and feel exactly what went down, step by step, and to feel the intensity of the struggle against the power of US Soccer's resolve to deny equal pay. The authors describe what it took for the women on the USWNT to even get as far as they did-close enough to the edge of success to actually see the spoils of their labour.
