Local and legitimate news outlet, so I'd be inclined to presume they're probably honest. Imagine for those involved, there's a goal of not bankrupting the company by naming them... but to build up pressure to change the policy... or be named and shamed.
Hmm, perhaps. Still, I'm reminded of P.C. Hodgell's comment that "That which can be destroyed by the truth should be."
I've heard the quote before, but never read any of books. Shrugs, life's complicated, we can't always be a crusader nor does every injustice need to be corrected in public.
