A few comments A few comments I had, after reading this article:
Firstly, I went on the air following Ms. Morris' interview to respond to some of her issues. I also spoke directly to her about the matter.
She misrepresented a number of things. When she arrived she was given the option to stay in one of the "guest-houses" where some of the workers are given free lodging. She was put in a women-only house. She chose to leave that location without informing those responsible for housing, and she went to a different house without authorization.
Her first house was having electricity and boiler issues due to the flooding in the area.
The reason for her being fired were legitimate, but I am unsure what whether I can legally disclose that information.
She was offered a ride to the bus station and a ticket back to Texas, which she declined. She threatened the person who offered it to her with legal action for "trying to force her to leave town."
I did not comment on the pay advances because it is not an area I have much to do with and I had nothing of value to add to his words.
I will close by saying that individuals that are portraying the situation here in Postville as exploitative could not be further from the truth.
