Product Description:

On Sept. 27, 2007, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio dismissed as time-barred the claims of a former employee of the E.W. Scripps Company. Carmen Carter, a member of the Cincinnati Newspaper Guild during her employment with the Post, alleged that the Post breached the collective bargaining agreement by refusing to credit her for service time at The Knoxville News Sentinel. The News Sentinel, a sister newspaper to the Post, is also owned by the E.W. Scripps Company. Carter also asserted a second cause of action against the union for unfair representation in her breach of contract claim against the Post.
