Leland Wykoff Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Jack Falfas has been awarded $2 million plus by court for removal from previous job at Cedar Fair. The new court order vacates the ruling of the arbitration panel which ordered Falfas returned to his job. The court cites case law which establishes job return orders are not allowed. Stacy Froley is quoted by the Sandusky Register in response to the breaking news. Froley would not comment as to the economic damage CF must ultimately pay Falfas. However, the court did order payment from the time of Falfas departure til the end of his contract term in November 2012. Falfas or CF can appeal the decision. While reported in the Sandusky Register the news has not, as yet, been posted to their website. However, I have called to verify the story with the Register, and requested they post this story. I had the pleasure of having the story read to me over the phone as a verification of the following report: http://geaugalaketoday.freepowerboards.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2564 Hat tip, and congratulations to, CoasterDad at Geauga Lake Today for web breaking this story. Great catch! UPDATE: The SanduskyRegister.com site should have the full story posted no later than Sunday afternoon. Perhaps earlier.

The Interpreter Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 My favorite part of the article: "...Cedar Fair has moved on." Translation: Mr. Dick Kinzel, the authoritarian autocrat no longer runs the company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Maybe CF should send the bill for this situation to Kinzel, since it happened under his watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Let me toss something up here. According to the Register article, Jack Falfas was the heir apparent to Kinzel. With Falfas gone, we ended up with Matt Ouimet as CEO instead. Who would have been the better CEO? A lot of us on here have raved about the changes since Ouimet took over (well, most anyway *coughfastlanecough*), but could Falfas have done better? We'll never know for sure, but what do you think?

The Interpreter Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 ...Watch Rye Playland. You may, or may not, find your answer there. Also, remember Q was watching things carefully....We almost certainly owe Q for Mr. Ouimet's presence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
