There's also a notice in Edhat.com that the SB Newsroom is calling it quits. Too bad.
they've also just called it quits
Wow. Powerful film. Fact is stranger than any fiction. McCaw has always been able to hide behind a thick barrier of lawyers. On August 14 hope to hear what she has to say on the stand.
now tell me again why an employer can't fire a disloyal employee?
Baron at 9:51 PM, the NLRB can explain it to you on August 14.
See you there.
To 9:51 So you are saying that an employee should do the owner's bidding even if that owner operates in an unethical and potentially illegal manner?
Loyalty does not mean leaving self respect and honesty at the door. An employee has a responsibility to the community as well as the company. Should the owner operate in a manner that is detrimental to the community and not attempt to rectify the situation, the employee has the right AND the responsibility to expose that owner, even if it means jepordizing their job.
9:51, uh, it's called the law, blond(e).
