Second Minor League Umpire Joins Lawsuit Against MLB Over Alleged Retaliation

Alexander Lawrie claims he was fired for reporting sexual assault by a fellow umpire, adding to Brandon Cooper's existing lawsuit.

Alexander Lawrie, a former minor league umpire, has joined a lawsuit against Major League Baseball, alleging wrongful termination.
Lawrie claims he was sexually assaulted by fellow umpire Gina Quartararo and was fired after reporting the incident.
The lawsuit, originally filed by Brandon Cooper, accuses MLB of creating a hostile work environment and retaliatory actions.
Cooper, who is male and bisexual, alleges he faced anti-gay slurs and derogatory remarks from Quartararo.
The amended lawsuit includes a claim of violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, with Lawrie awaiting a right to sue from the EEOC.
