Schlessinger/McCaw/SBN-P

[lol...@msn.com]

After much to do to excude the public from the once publc event The
News-Press Lifetime Achievement Awards Dinner at the Biltmore was
another pathetic display of Wendy McCaw's growing paranoia. So
worthless and shunned is Laura Schlessinger no one mentions her. Wendy
is chopping off heads or running anyone worth their salt away from
their jobs. Perhaps a corner as been turned, Craig Smith writes in his
blog: "The Teamsters Union has won a battle in what figures to be a
hard-fought labor war with News-Press owner Wendy McCaw. Yesterday it
was announced that the NLRB has completed its investigation and will
file a complaint charging News-Press management with violating the
National Labor Relations Act by cancelling union supporter Starshine
Roshell's weekly column in the paper, and by obstructing and
threatening to suspend a group of newsroom employees in retaliation for
delivering a letter to McCaw. This means that the NLRB will issue a
complaint which, unless settled, will result in a hearing before an
Administrative Law Judge, in which the News-Press would be prosecuted
for the violations. Union attorney Ira Gottlieb, freshly bounced from
Saturday's Lifetime Achievement Awards Dinner at the Biltmore hotel
told me, "No question, this is great news for the union." Still under
investigation by the NLRB is the retaliatory discharge of award-winning
News-Press reporter Melinda Burns. BTW, if you'd like to sign an
on-line petition urging the News-Press to to reinstate Melinda." catch
