Was NABET silent on the whole thing?

Also, I will add, the amount of organized staff at wnem who do not pay dues is VERY LOW. I know that when I was there I could count on one hand.

Was NABET silent on the whole thing? I’m not sure how much they can get involved in civil litigation. I can say that the former local chapter president was deposed and was very helpful to me (while also being honest). As evidenced in my own deposition, I was very new to unions when I moved to Michi...

Best of luck Nick, you made a good decision to leave TV 5. Glad you are back home again and hope you are doing well.

Thanks! Also, had I accepted a settlement, I most likely would have been required to sign a non-disclosure agreement. So, I’m able to continue to freely discuss this.

Should be Lulli $40,000, WNEM 0! Funny how an entity that “asks the tough questions” and “doesn’t stop until it gets the answers you deserve” will treat another human being this way, much less an employee and former employee. Lulli has set a new standard and precedent here. For those with a moral c...

THEY COULDN’T EVEN PRODUCE THE CONTRACT? CASE CLOSED!!! How could anyone let it get to this point?! They couldn’t produce an original ink signature. All they showed me in my deposition were photocopies and the signature did not resemble mine at all. I even produced by license and other documents si...

Here's the fabricated story management sent Nick on. You will notice there are no flags being flown to offend anyone, of any kind. Only rumors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQMgYOAMoRc So, yeah, that’s the story I got attacked on. When I got there, the flags had been taken down. The on-call mana...

$34,000 divided into 2080 hours (40 hour work week x 52 weeks) is $16.35 an hour. They seriously tried pulling this shit? 🙄🙄🙄 So glad that Ian and Al are gone but it sounds as their replacements aren’t much better... There are a couple of on air people there who aren’t bad but they need to jump shi...

All I can say is that I worked hard every day to be the best journalist I could be. Yes, the whole situation seems quite unbelievable. Imagine how much they spent in legal fees? By the way, the Michigan Supreme Court has ruled that employee-required remuneration to the employer is illegal. That mean...

By the way, you should see in my deposition where they asked why I didn’t sue buzzboard users for criticizing me. I’m not joking. This was after I amended the lawsuit to include defamation when I found out they were using a possibly altered version of a package I did in a “how not to be a reporter” ...

I’ll never understand why stations go after people who don’t want to be there. Thank you for your support. It’s also even more confusing when you tell the station you are leaving the state for personal/medical/whatever reasons, and have NO PLANS to compete against the company. I never in a million ...

Very soon...

Check back in tomorrow.

Who’s ready for the full story?

You're absolutely correct. They shouldn't be posting that. My favorite is when they say, "well, I still get to have an opinion, too." Well, yes. You do. But you keep it in your head. When I was a working journalist, I never posted political views even on my locked down personal page. Curious, based ...
