See where I'm going. WHC, complaining about how its employees got to work, was dug out two weeks before they were! Yet, they paid nothing

Oh, my the times have changed! Used to be participants on this forum were curious and skeptical about "factual" reports in the Washington Post.

An enterprising soul may try to find out the following:

1. How much money did the hospital spend on transportation of staff to work?

2. How much money did the hospital spend on snow clearance activities?

3. Why does one of our heroes give conflicting accounts to Fox 5 News and the WaPo?

4. Why were only a handful of employees terminated out of 700+ who failed to report as scheduled?

5. Why does the Post quote a union official regarding the performance evaluation of one affected employee, and how does that official have access to private information not distributed to either the union or the public?

I'd like to give you the short answer: this isn't a story. It's sensationalistic BS, and many of you are idiots for falling for it.

WashPost? Hey, this is a "sourced story" and I lived through the storm that is in the background. That means MY STATEMENTS regarding the storm are sourced. and yours probably aren't.

WarshPost has a history of just making stuff up, or opinionating, but I was there for the weather. Many others commenting on this thread weren't AND so far I believe I am the only Freeper here who has actually USED THAT HOSPITAL.

There are stories I could tell you about the problems, but there's a reason those employees became unionized.

Come dig out my driveway next time we have one of those storms and we'll talk.

Regarding what WHC spent on "digging out", they still didn't pay any taxes to use to dig out everybody else. Everybody else, though, paid taxes that dug them out.

You are being purposefully obtuse. I take it you are part of WHC or Med Star management, right? Or are you part of their legal team.

Failure to have a suitible plan in place is a problem that lies specifically with management.

BTW, regarding the claim of two stories, one to a TV station and one to a newspaper, you have two different editors, two different writers, and a multiplicity of opportunities to confound events surrounded by two major RECORD BREAKING snowstorms, and a couple of others that seem to have been dumped into this area just for fun.

You'll have to direct your querry to God when it comes to why the storms happened.

I am not surprised FOX and WarshPost might well come up with something different.

Now, let me say this about that, just because news media derive two different stories doesn't mean there are two different stories. I think you are too accepting of what you are allowed to hear.
