Several democratic senators have signed a letter sent to ABC threatening to review their broadcast license. Sounds like blackmail to me. What about freedom of speech or are they only for freedom of speech when they agree with the speach. Just wondering

I recently contacted my insurance company because my electrics had partly gone in my house and I have cover for Home Emergency. I contacted them at 4pm on the 08/09/06 and truthfully told them that it had happened at 9pm the night before. They said it was no longer classed as an emergency because I had not called immediatly. I argued that I had gone straight to bed and was in work all day on the 08th thats why I hadnt phoned until now. They said they would not help in anyway. I complained to the supervisior and again got nowhere. I then complained through my broker who have sent off the complaint to the relevant department. I am considering taking legal action against the company for breach of contract as it doesnt say anywhere in my policy that I must call immediatly. Please be aware I had called within 24 hours. Have I a case to sue the company for breach of contract? Please state your legal expertise and what I should do next. Thanks

I started a job as an Admin Assistant with no background checks, aside from calling my ref. Now, they have a new customer that wants to require background checks (criminal, DMV & CREDIT) on all employees that will be working with their information. I just want to know if it is legal for them to require a background check after I have been hired. THANKS!!

My situation deals with an estate, which belonged to my father, who died January 2002. My father died without a will, he was not married, and I am his only child. At the time of his death, I was fourteen years of age, and my grandmother was beneficiary over his insurance policy, so she, with the help of my aunt, dealt with his estate, being that I was too young to handle that type of business. Recently I have come to know that when my grandmother and my aunt went to the courthouse, in 2002, to deal with my father’s estate, they lied and told the court that my father did not have a child so my grandmother received his whole estate. If I am not mistaking, I am supposed to receive everything because I am the closest relative. After he died, I was acknowledged in the obituary as his child, and I received social security benefits. Now that I am nineteen years old, and my grandmother is now deceased, my aunt has everything my father owned in her name, including houses, cars, money, etc. ...

obviously anyone with an IQ above single figures could easily discredit everything within the film with less than 5mins unbiased research,but the fact remains that there is a lot of deliberate and malicious misinformation presented - does the law protect against such abuses of freedom of speech?

You are asked in an email by your supervisor at your new employer to reveal your former employer’s five (5) largest clients (you work at an accounting firm). There is no specific legal prohibition on revealing this information, however, if you do reveal the information, you know that your new employer is going to try and contact the clients in the hopes that their business will now move to your new firm. You know your previous employer would be significantly adversely affected financially; probably it would go out of business. Would you reveal such information?

I recently took over a job as Director of a non for profit 501 C 3 organization. It is an ambulance service. We have 4 paid members and 40 volunteers. All the paid staff are classified as salary. Our departments board of directors has given the paid staff a certain amount of vacation time. My question is if a paid employee has used all their vacation time, is it legal to adjust their pay to a per day perdiem. Say for instance a person makes 423.07 a week gross and they miss 2 days, can we by law figure what they would make per day and only pay them for the 3 days they were there?
The paid people are paid to be there M-F 7am - 5pm or until a volunteer gets there could be later than 5 pm. Are we required to pay overtime? Also, the paid employees are required to work one 12 hr shift per month on the weekend. Is this legal? I was told it was legal, you just couldnt make them do anything while they were volunteering that they would do when they were paid such as cleaning duties, etc.
