A City Council committee is scheduled on Monday to consider approving a $1.83 million payment to settle a 2018 lawsuit brought by five female paramedics who alleged patterns of sexual harassment in the Chicago Fire Department. In multiple cases, the plaintiffs alleged they faced retaliation from superiors over their complaints while their abusers were promoted.
