In the interests of being fair and balanced, Andrea Weckerle followed her earlier story about Joe, the Goodwill worker who was fired for giving some unsaleable furniture away. (It turned out they were baby items.) She wrote in the comments of this blog earlier today:

I spoke with Aimée P. Walters, Goodwill’s Director of Marketing & Communications, today and she shared the organization’s side of the story. Apparently the organization has a very strict policy regarding donated goods—and takes immediate action if such policies are violated.

   Please visit Andrea’s post on the matter and go down to her August 22 update. I’m glad some of us in the blogosphere follow up—unlike some folks in the mainstream media, and I am grateful to Andrea for clearing up the facts.

Update: Ms Walters has left a comment on the blog which is certainly compelling—and that the interaction between the private eye posing as a customer and Joe lasted all of 16 seconds. Posted by Jack Yan, 06:37  permalink
