CONSENT TO BECOME PARTY PLAINTIFF IN
COLLECTIVE ACTION UNDER 29 U.S.C. § 216(b)
Cahill et al. v. Nike, Inc.
United States District Court for the District of Oregon
Case No. ____________
1.

I, Kelly Cahill, consent to be a party plaintiff in the above-listed action under 29

U.S.C. § 216(b), and agree to be bound by any settlement or judgment of the Court in the action.
2.

I worked for Defendant Nike, Inc. in and around Washington County, Oregon

from November 2012 to July 2017. I worked in a Senior Producer role, a position that Nike
classified as independent contractor, until October 2013, at which time I became a Director and
was classified as an employee by Nike.
3.

During my time at Nike, on information and belief, I was paid less than male Nike

employees for substantially equal work with respect to salary, bonuses, and equity compensation.
When I was hired as a full-time employee Director, I was asked what my salary was as a
contractor. I started at $110,000 and when I left I had a salary of about $127,000. On information
and belief, a male Director on my Team, Tim Ramirez, had a salary that was approximately
$20,000 higher than my salary. I sought a promotion to Senior Director, but was unsuccessful,
despite consistently meeting and exceeding my performance goals and having gained significant,
relevant experience prior to working at Nike. After I left Nike, on information and belief, my
position was filled by a man who was awarded the Senior Director title. On information and
belief, as a Senior Director in the E-Band pay level, my male successor was paid at a higher rate
than I had been as a Director in the E-Band pay level.

to the conduct and handling of this action, including the settlement thereof, as they deem
