A transgender former employee is suing the Chicago Cubs organization, accusing it of discriminating against her after she reported months of harassment and retaliation.
Milani Cooper, 35, said she was harassed daily by coworkers who would call her transphobic slurs, with one eventually threatening her with physical violence when she worked there from February through October of last year, according to the suit.
“It was difficult because I did love my job,” Cooper told the Sun-Times on Monday. “I felt like working for the Chicago Cubs would be fun, like it would be a distinguished position.
