Is the Courier-Post just the beginning?

In the wake of unfair labor accusations from reporters at the Courier-Post in Cherry Hill, N.J., Jim Hopkins, who founded of a blog on Gannett Co., said he suspects that overtime abuse is widespread throughout the company.
In a blog post today he called on Gannett's Board of Directors to launch an independent investigation into wage and hour practices at each of the company's operating units.
This post comes after employees at the Courier-Post threatened to file a formal complaint with the U.S. Labor Department on claims that "many non-exempt employees work beyond their allotted hours without being paid overtime."
The employees called on Gannett executives to compensate employees who have worked overtime for the past and to ensure that the company's overtime policy will be enforced by Feb 22. If they do not meet that date, the group said it will move forward with a complaint.
Now Hopkins is pushing Gannett to look at other newspapers to ensure there are fair labor practices for all company employees.
From the blog:

Waiting for more employees to threaten legal action would simply put more
shareholder equity at risk. As one Gannett Blog reader said in a comment on this post: "I hope that editor is ready to sacrifice his job, and the jobs of many others when the labor board slaps millions of dollars in fines on the Courier-Post. And don't think it won't happen. This blog is all the evidence they need to start an audit."
