You are receiving this e-mail because you live in the Pittsburgh region and might have some interest in what is happening relative to the scandals at the Pittsburgh Athletic Association (PAA). You may have heard about the financial debacle of the PAA on taxes, utility bills, etc. and the terrible treatment of 24 students living on the 4th and 5th floors of the building; but you almost certainly have not heard about the plight of the PPA's employees since the newspapers have shown no interest in their situation. Attached is an op-ed which Mike Stout and I have submitted to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for publication. We hope that they will print it, but are not at all confident since it casts a bad light on some of Pittsburgh's elite.
The workers at the PAA are now out of a job. We hope the people of Pittsburgh will put as much pressure as possible on the Directors, Members and management of the PAA to help ensure that the workers finally receive a fair shake. These folks have been stiffed and badly treated by the PAA since at least 2011.
Tomorrow Mike and I and a couple of other will be meeting to plan a fundraiser to help the workers pay for the legal fees in the ERISA suit they are filing over their missing pension funds. As you may imagine these workers are not floating in cash. They have been beaten down for so long that they feel hopeless and alone. They need all the help they can get. So anything you can do will be gratefully appreciated. We will keep you informed of any plans for a fundraiser as they develop.
If you are not interested and want no further information on this please let me know and I will remove you from the list.
John
