Distraction from CBA negotiations?
Distraction from CBA negotiations?
A quote from the article in the link above
"Following the NHLPA’s move into a new office in downtown Toronto in April 2017, Etherington said he refused to set up a server room in the union’s new work space. He claimed there was a risk of electrocution because high industrial wattage power cables had been left unsecured under the subfloor and were at risk of being submerged under the water if there was a blocked drain pipe.
On Aug. 23 2017, after the server room flooded with water and raw sewage from an executive bathroom, Etherington said he was ordered to clean up the mess but refused to enter the room because of the risk of electrocution."
So this Etherington is a technical support analyst and he's told to clean up the mess that came from the executives bathroom. Lol
No one knew the number for the custodian?
What drama goes on down at the NHLPA.
Sounds crazy, but $4 million in damages for a technical support analyst? Wow. This sounds like it's going to be a real ugly lawsuit. I doubt we hear much about it though.
Definitely had to take a double take on his name looking a lot like Alan Eagleson.“The NHLPA is aware that our former employee, Mr. Allan Etherington, has filed a claim containing numerous false statements and groundless and irrelevant allegations against the organization and some of his former colleagues,” the union wrote in a statement to TSN. “We look forward to defending the organization and our staff against these allegations.”
That’s rather strongly worded, bordering on attack language.

But they did actually fire Stephen Frank though. So it's not like he's making everything up. If I had to guess his allegations are mostly true, but he's omitting all the parts that make him look bad.
Read again the article, Frank was allowed to resign.
