2 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, February 9, 1994 Comm Center (continued from page 9) Attorney Lipka said that the authority misrepresented itself in terms of Breg- man’s employment because it had told Bregman that if he did his work in a satisfactory manner, he would be re- tained. “He did his work, but was fired,” Lipka said. “He had no trouble doing his work - we have a doctor's statement to that effect. After dismissing him, they re- placed him with a younger person.” “Paul Sabol, executive director of the Back Mountain Communications Cen- ter, said that all hiring and firing is done through the executive board, consisting of two representatives each from King- ston Township, Dallas Township and Dallas Borough and one representative each from Jackson and Lehman town- ships, the Back Mountain Firemen's Association and the Nesbitt Memorial Hospital. “I can only tell you that Bregman was terminated on the advice of attorneys Ted Krohn and Michael Melnick,” Sabol said. The authority didn't know that Breg- man had a heart condition until his April 30, 1991 heart attack, Sabol said. Michael S. Melnick, solicitor for the Back Mountain Communications Cen- ter Joint Operating Authority, refused to comment on the case, referring all ques- tions to Jordan H. Pecile, representing Liability Insurance of North America, the communications center's insurance car- rier. Pecile refused to comment on the case until he had discussed it with his client. Representing the Back Mountain Fire- men's Association, attorney Patrick Dougherty said that the association wasn't involved in the case at all. “The firemens association wasn't in- volved in the decision to fire Bregman and should not be party to this litiga- tion,” he said. “They should sue only those directly involved in the case, not everybody and their uncle. If your store is robbed, do you sue the people stand- ing outside?” According to the complaint, the Penn- sylvania Human Relations Commission, the state's civil rights enforcement au- thority, has investigated the case. In cases where it finds evidence of dis- crimination, the commission first at- tempts to get the defendant to voluntar- ‘was “not public information.” ily settle with the plaintiff, according to Human Relations Commission spokes- person Louise Oncley. Settlement may include back pay, benefits, reinstatement or eliminating the discriminatory circumstances, she added. Oncley refused to give further infor-: mation on what the commission had done in Bregman's case or if the commiis- sion had found evidence of discrimina-: tion on the part of the Back Mountain Communications Center, saying that it Lemmond will seek 3rd State Senate term State Senator Charles D.
