Oreck chief blasts papers over quote
The president of Oreck Manufacturing Co. has distributed a letter to company employees in Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee, challenging the accuracy of a quote attributed to him by a Nashville newspaper and reprinted by the Sun Herald.
The letter, originally sent to Sun Herald executives, was distributed to Oreck employees in Long Beach, Metairie, La., and Cookeville. In the correspondence, company president Tom Oreck criticized the Sun Herald’s reporting on his company, but did not elaborate on alleged inaccuracies.
The company announced earlier this month it was closing its Mississippi plant in Long Beach.
