TS Radio Network: The USDA Hour..Forestry Service is an Employment Disgrace

Whistleblower's! Is presented in coordination with Marcel Reid and the Whistleblower's Summit taking place every July in Washington, D.C.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our guest this evening is William Ostrovitz, and special guest Tony. 

While we have covered the Women of Forestry and the continued harassment, retaliation for reporting molestation and physical violence and the intimidation tactics used against them, we are now going to address many of the same issues reported by male Forestry workers.  Obviously, the environment at the Forestry Service is so toxic, so dysfunctional that these activities have become routine.  So have the efforts by agency offices and other personnel to cover up or participate in these activities.

Our guest tonight is now permanently disabled as a result of the canine attack used on him by the same employee he reported.  That employee not only retained his job....he was promoted~~along with his dog.
