Nine former workers say Fox Sports used the COVID-19 pandemic as a pretense to push out older workers.
The plaintiffs range in age from 52 to 80. They worked in the graphics department, with the longest-tenured employee working at the company for 29 years. While they were contract workers, the lawsuit says they were treated as full-time employees. They were told not to come to work, along with other non-essential employees, starting in March 2020.
Unknown to the plaintiffs at the time, Gary Hartley, executive vice president of Fox Sports Creative Services, had told the graphics department that no one else would return and that he had “got rid of all the dead weight,” according to the complaint. The workers alleged that they were still in the dark about their employment status despite numerous inquiries asking if they were still employed.
