Los Angeles -- Santa Barbara News-Press Editor Jerry Roberts, four other top editors and a columnist quit to protest moves by the owner that they say undermine the paper's credibility.
The editors, who resigned Wednesday and Thursday, said owner Wendy McCaw and her closest associates have become increasingly meddlesome. They also pointed to the appointment of Travis Armstong to acting publisher while he serves as editorial page editor.
Overtime laws need to be removed, they interfere with the free market.
Class actions need to be scaled back or phased out entirely.
If a person doesn't want to work that 41st hour for regular pay, the newspaper should have the right to fire them and go out and get someone who is willing to work 60 hours a week at straight time.
Greedy liberal robber barons.
Section 10 - Powers prohibited of States
No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.
But the feds may.
Violates the spirit, no question. But not the letter.
Finally what the heck is up with their paper and ex-employees that this article is about? I know they all (specific journalists) up and walked out one day. I am just curious about an insiders perspective.
