Mariners executives accused of workplace harassment in 2009-10, Seattle Times reports

Early this morning news broke that a Seattle Times investigation had turned up accusations of inappropriate workplace conduct against Mariners CEO and President Kevin Mather, former Executive Vice President Bob Aylward, and former President Chuck Armstrong. Additionally, inappropriate footage of two female fans was found to be shot and saved by camera operators at Safeco Field.

The report, compiled by Times staff reporters Geoff Baker and Mike Baker, covers three complaints levied at the aforementioned Mariners’ executives which occurred in 2009 and 2010. The complaints involved inappropriate comments, unwanted physical contact and, in Aylward’s case, viewing pop-up porn images when asked to help with a frozen computer.
