Chiefs refund employees, too

The official list of teams who took away money from non-player employees for no good reason during the lockout but have no fixed the situation is up to three.
According to Sam Mellinger of the Kansas City Star (via Chris Thorman of Arrowhead Pride), the Chiefs will refund all employees whose pay was cuts on Friday, in their next round of regular paychecks. Mellinger also reports that three-percent raises retroactive to March 1 will be included.
We supposed that this move could be described, given the team’s nickname, as the reverse-Indian-giver.
Congrats, Chiefs, on doing the right thing. Though we would have preferred to see the Chiefs and the other teams do the right thing in the first place and not punish non-players for a situation they didn’t cause, it’s good to know they’ll be made whole.
And while the Chiefs are feeling charitable, here’s hoping they decide to let their game-day stadium employees stick around to watch the home team without buying their own tickets.

I was literally going to name this thread "Where is Chiefs09"? But the little bastard just posted 10 minutes ago finally.

after the pr blast they got they had no choice. he should have done the right thing from the get go. been working in Louisiana last 6 weeks is why I havent been on. here for a month then back on the road to either Nashville, TN or Asheville, NC for a short while.

I bet that motherfucker paid for his plane tickets to the labor negotiations with the interest he accrued by withholding his employees pay! (or some other outlandish claim)

the pilot should have ejected and let the plane crash
