A former campaign staffer who accused President Trump of sexual misconduct and pay discrimination filed a motion Monday asking for a judge to allow others, including Omarosa Manigault Newman, to join her lawsuit, filed in February.
Omarosa Manigault Newman, left, at the White House in 2017, and Alva Johnson in Washington in February.
Monday’s filing by Johnson’s attorneys, which asks the judge to certify the suit as a collective action, provides more information about those pay discrimination allegations. It includes an initial pay study conducted by Phillip M. Johnson, an economist and managing director of Econ One Research, which found that, on average, female campaign staffers were paid 18.2 percent less than their male counterparts between May and December 2016.
Monday’s filing is the next step toward proving that the campaign participated in sex discrimination, Zavareei said, which is a violation of the Equal Pay Act. The pay study also observed a pay gap of nearly 50 percent among male and female staffers in top-ranking jobs. He said Manigault Newman’s willingness to join the lawsuit as a “high-ranking female campaign staffer” strengthens the case. Zavareei said he is hopeful that her participation will empower other female staffers to join.In a statement, Manigault Newman said the suit addresses the “gender pay gap” that exists not just between women, but between people of color and their white counterparts. She joined, she said, to “level the playing field in the political arena.
