A transgender employee filed a federal lawsuit against the Chicago Cubs alleging sex-based and gender-based discrimination, harassment and retaliation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the lawsuit filed on December 27, the employee asserts she’s been the victim of gender-based harassment, including being called “derogatory names” by her coworkers, “being misgendered” and “targeted with hostility.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
The lawsuit states that the employee requested not to have to work with certain employees due to mistreatment but, despite this request, she was assigned to work with them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The employee claims the organization did not take action to address her concerns about discriminatory conduct. The lawsuit details multiple retaliatory actions by and physical threats from coworkers.<\/p>\n
According to the lawsuit, the employee wants compensatory and punitive damages, attorney fees and front pay, among other requests.\u00a0<\/p>\n
