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 compass, who know the difference between right and wrong, who refuse to be mistreated, EVERYONE OUT OF THE WNEM POOL!!!
And honestly, that one one of my reasons for fighting this. I had to prove I was correct if not simply for the other people in my same shoes. Do you know how many people came to my saying they were mistreated, etc.? A lot of people were waiting on the outcome of my case to decide what to do. Unfortunately a lot of them moved on now within Meredith.

I can’t stand people who are self-serving and two-faced. People who tell me one thing, tell me they’ll be truthful, and then lie under oath and take a promotion.

By the way, since the mediators decided in my favor, had WNEM gone to trial and lost, they would’ve been sanctioned by the state. They knew they couldn’t win.

So while I did not get any money, and spent a lot of wasted time, I am in the end at peace knowing I stuck to my guns and won against a mega corporation.

They have never done this to anyone else. You can check the records. Why they picked me....

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.

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 Michigan. I did not know very much. There are people at WNEM like David Custer who do not pay union dues but get all of the negotiated union benefits. I voluntarily joined and paid dues because the negotiated benefits were admittedly better than the non-union stations I worked at and it wouldn’t have been right to not contribute.

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.

So has NABET, uh, “outed” all of the freeloaders?
Well, I certainly knew who they were.

If you want to gripe about people getting union benefits without paying dues, complain to the Republican Party. Their cohorts in Lansing made the rules. No one should be forced to join a union, nor reap any benefits they don't pay for. But that's not on them. Blame that on Republicans, who are trying to destroy unions.

The Lulli legacy will live in infamy.

A passionate person who was disrespected, sued, and betrayed. Such a sad tale that should have ended so much better.

When a nice person finishes last, we’ll say they got “Lullied.”
Love it!

And when a company loses $100,000+ in legal fees and wins absolutely nothing, we’ll say they got “Meredithed.”
