Cumulus President/CEO Lew Dickey Jr. spoke with Radio Ink
Wednesday, after word came out that the company is requiring all
employees -- from himself on down -- to take five days of unpaid leave
before June 1.
Since most Cumulus employees are at will, The Bert Show and Regular Guys may be among the few to whom this doesn't really apply, since they have contracts. Of course they may have been inclined (or pressured) to renegotiate their contracts out of solidarity with other Cumulus employees, but it seems unlikely that five days of unpaid leave during a ratings period is good for either party.
Thanks to a loyal reader for the tip.
