Former Salt Lake Stallions employee is suing the AAF for pay and benefits after league folded

A former vice president for the Salt Lake Stallions has filed a class action lawsuit against the Alliance of American Football league, arguing it violated federal law in how it disbanded the company and that it owes its employees pay and benefits.

Richard Muirbrook was hired as the vice president of ticket sales and services for the Stallions on Sept. 10, 2018. He and more than 90 others were left without work when the company announced it was folding on April 2, according to the lawsuit

The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Utah’s U.S. District Court, is one of at least two others filed against the AAF after it announced it was suspending football operation, according to ESPN.
