Terminated contractor files case against USA Cricket for 'racial
discrimination'
The lawsuit, filed by Kirk Greaves, seeks a total of $2 million dollars
in damages

13-May-2022
Kirk Greaves (C) was terminated from an independent contractor role
early last month, Lauderhill, December 23, 2021
Kirk Greaves (middle) on December 23, 2021, in Lauderhill, Florida, at
a T20I between USA and Ireland o Peter Della Penna
In the midst of a [78]protracted legal battle regarding the delayed
general elections from 2020, USA Cricket now has a second lawsuit on
its hands after Kirk Greaves, who was terminated from an
independent-contractor role early last month, filed legal action in the
US Federal Court against the national governing body claiming "racial
discrimination in employment".
The lawsuit, which was filed by Greaves on April 28 in the Northern
District of California (USA Cricket is headquartered in San Francisco)
is seeking a total of $2 million dollars in damages: $150,000 in
economic damages owing to lost future wages; $350,000 in non-economic
damages for "psychological stress and humiliation"; and $1.5 million in
punitive damages.
"USA Cricket is aware of various details of a lawsuit being brought by
a former contractor against USA Cricket," a USA Cricket spokesperson
said to ESPNcricinfo in an emailed statement. "The individual is one of
a number of contractors previously engaged by USA Cricket whose
contracts were recently not renewed. All allegations in the lawsuit are
entirely false and without merit, and USA Cricket denies and will
aggressively defend against them. The matter is currently in the hands
of USA Cricket's lawyers. We look forward to the case being dismissed
in due course and will not be making any further comment at this time."
Prior to working for USA Cricket, Greaves, a native of Barbados, worked
as Team Operations Manager for Barbados Tridents for three seasons in
the Caribbean Premier League from 2016 to 2018. He was also appointed
as Tournament Operations Manager for the Global T20 Canada when it
launched in 2018 and worked in an operations role for Rajasthan Royals
during the 2019 IPL. According to the lawsuit, Greaves claims he was
brought on board by USA Cricket as an independent contractor for a
four-month probationary period as a Cricket Operations Manager
beginning in March 2021 at an initial wage of $5,000 per month and
tasked with executing four domestic cricket tournaments.
Greaves claims a verbal agreement was in place with then board CEO Iain
Higgins to give him an offer of full-time employment, contingent upon
the successful completion of the four domestic tournaments. However,
Greaves was never subsequently presented with a full-time job offer and
claims that the budget which was allegedly allocated for the role was
instead repackaged as an increased salary offer to a white employee.
Among other allegations, Greaves states that he was subjected to a
"toxic work environment, unfair employment practices, wage disparity
and discrimination". Greaves claims that he was the only black staff
member and also the only American citizen on staff and, as such, he was
"hired to diversify the management of USA Cricket. It would appear that
only the Australians, Indians, New Zealanders and other non-Americans
have benefitted from the USA Cricket brand".
Though their employment status is not considered full-time, USA Cricket
currently has three other black men - who are all American citizens -
serving in staff leadership roles affiliated with its national teams:
John Aaron as USA Women's national team manager, Kerk Higgins as USA
men's national team manager, and Kevin Darlington in the dual role of
USA men's assistant coach and USA U-19 men's head coach.
Greaves also claims in the suit that he suffered humiliation after
having his role reclassified from "Cricket Operations Manager" to
"Events Manager", and that the renaming of his role resulted in
"eliminating any element of black representation at the senior
management level", something he claims "was racially orchestrated and
violated US law". Greaves also writes that his job status was that of a
permanent employee but claims that classifying him as an independent
contractor "demonstrates bad faith and is a contravention of US labor
laws".
On March 28, a letter was sent by USA Cricket Operations Director
Richard Done to Greaves notifying him that his independent contractor
agreement - which had been $6,500 for the final five months, an
increase of $1,500 above his original - was being terminated as of
April 8, "pursuant to the decision of the Cricket Committee". However,
Greaves claims that he received an email disputing this from USA
Cricket board member Srini Salver. In the email, which is attached in
an exhibit as part of the lawsuit filing, Salver writes to Greaves that
"your termination was never recommended by the Cricket Committee" in
any board meeting but was instead discussed during a conversation about
budgets.
"The budget isn't approved, nor are the terminations," Salver allegedly
wrote to Greaves. Salver is one of the two board member plaintiffs,
along with Venu Pisike, in the ongoing legal action filed against five
other USA board members and then USA Cricket CEO Iain Higgins over the
legality of new members being allowed voting status in the case about
the delayed elections from 2020.
A court hearing date for the Greaves lawsuit has been set for August 2.
