Former Employee Accuses Under Armor of Destroying Evidence in a Wrongful Termination Lawsuit
Attorneys for a former Under Armour employee allege the sportswear maker and the employee’s one-time boss lost and destroyed evidence in a pending wrongful termination lawsuit, including text messages and personnel records.
The records would have helped prove Cynthia D. Pajak’s case, her attorneys allege in court documents. Pajak, a former regional director who spent six years with Under Armour (NYSE: UAA), originally filed a lawsuit in 2019 claiming she was fired in retaliation for reporting inappropriate behavior by her male colleagues and for raising concerns about Under Armour’s male-dominated culture.
Pajak’s attorneys seek to expand the lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia, to add claims related to the spoiling of evidence. A hearing on the motion to expand the lawsuit is scheduled for March 4.
