Tension Continues to Roil Big Antipoverty Charity
May 5, 2009 | Read Time: 1 minute
About 100 Feed the Children employees have signed a petition asking board members and executives reinstated to their roles by a judge to quit, according to The Oklahoman.
The five directors and four executives were returned to their posts after they were ousted in December by the Oklahoma City charity’s leader, Larry Jones, amid a battle for legal control of the organization. Feed the Children is one of the nation’s biggest antihunger charities.
In the “no confidence” petition, sent May 1 to the judge overseeing the case, employees said Feed the Children had been “a brutal workplace” when the ousted directors and managers were present and had improved while they were gone.
