Dallas EEOC sues Charleston, Raleigh companies in employment harassment case

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment against North Charleston-based Alternative Staffing Inc. and a North Carolina construction company, said Weinberg Law Firm, Employment Lawyer Dallas.

The lawsuit, filed Aug. 6, says the companies subjected three women, and possibly others, to a sexually hostile work environment. The three women were employees of Alternative Staffing Inc. and were assigned in 2006 to work at an Orangeburg job site for the Raleigh-based construction firm Clancy & Theys.

The lawsuit says the women were harassed verbally and physically, a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The alleged harassment came from a Clancy & Theys labor foreman who was supervising the women and by employees of a third-party contrac­tor working at the site.

Los Angeles Wrong Way DUI – Who Should We Believe?

LOS ANGELES - The story of Diane Schuler’s death continues to unfold. After a toxicology report stated Ms. Schuler was under the influence of marijuana and had blood alcohol level of 0.19 at the time of the crash, her husband Daniel claimed the report must be inaccurate. He went on to even say he’s never seen her drunk during their marriage. I hope for his sake he is telling the truth about his wife’s alcoholism, but it seems like reports are starting to surface which say otherwise, said Michael Bialys, California DUI lawyer.

Military Criticized in Report on Soldier Electrocution in New York

Heather Browne, a KBR spokeswoman, said the company had not seen the report and would not comment on the contents. But she said in an e-mail message that while Sergeant Maseth’s death was tragic, the company maintains that it is not responsible. She said that KBR informed the military of the absence of grounding and bonding in the structure nine months before Sergeant Maseth’s death, said John Q. Kelly, New York electrocution attorney.


The report said that Sergeant Maseth, 24, was electrocuted while showering when he came in contact with water pipes that had become energized because of the failure of a water pump that had not been grounded. It says that the military contractor KBR, based in Houston, installed the pump and adjacent water tanks.

The Criminal Defense Lawyer as a Hero

ARE lawyers taking over the world? Or has a subtle and insidious silent coup already occurred?

Practicing Orange County criminal defense lawyers, as well as serious paranoics, need only point to the inexorable rise of a man named David E. Kelley, at 40 one of the most influential figures in American popular culture.

Only 10 years ago Mr. Kelley was a young Boston attorney, scribbling away at motions and appellate briefs and billing by the hour. Today he is a top-of-the-heap network television producer with several hundred hours of prime time drama behind him; a very rich man married to a famous movie star.

What's more, he has ambitious plans to make a hero out of a criminal defense attorney -- a job classification that many post-O.J. Simpson television viewers would file in the same moral pigeonhole as, say, soldier of fortune, chop shop operator, dognaper-for-hire, and journalist.

This week's cell phone atrocity award goes to ...

By Peter Leo, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

This week's cell phone atrocity award goes to a Colorado woman who had to be escorted off a plane because she refused to stop yakking on her cell phone. To be fair to the cell phone community, it apparently was a case of DWI, Dialing While Intoxicated. According to the police report, Kimberly C. Graf admitted that her pre-boarding procedures included three beers and two shots at the St. Louis airport.

"She repeatedly took out her cell phone and began making calls on it," according to BonitaNews.com, a Web site for a Florida newspaper. She got a police escort after the plane landed in Ft. Myers, Fla. The long-suffering flight crew decided not to press charges. Seems to us the long-suffering passengers deserved a free drink.
