The Phoenix Suns are reportedly facing another workplace discrimination lawsuit. The plaintiff, Jason Cope, has said that little has changed within the organization since former owner Robert Sarver sold the team to Mat Ishbia.
According to Phoenix New Times, Cope started a draft among colleagues about this but not enough people signed on. However, he did believe that the Suns management did realize what he was doing.
Multiple weeks after this, Cope and others received an email that if they wanted to keep working they would need to sign new agreements. These agreements would classify them as independent contractors so Cope and others would lose their benefits and overtime ability.
"It didn't sit right with me," Cope said. "I was the last person to sign a contract because I was so against it."
