Good effort by the writer to explain the case in the pages of the RG. I can't believe that we will ever know the truth. A trial would have helped with that. As it stands in my memory, we have a great music writer--one of the best writers on the RG staff with a lively, engaging style and a deep knowledge of the local music scene--who was reassigned to covering the most boring small events in rural locations one could imagine. That seemed clearly punitive, as if a war was on. I sympathize with Markstrom for having to do that absurdly inappropriate work, and I sympathize with the RG for the fact that her resistance showed in those pieces--at least, so it seemed to me. It's a loss for us all that this has happened. Looks like the legal case is won by the better legal power in the document here, but it's only one side of the story. Insofar as it's true, though, the union president made some terrible and indefensible moves.
