Judge: Microsoft should do right by temps
AP - Posted at 8:14 a.m. PST Friday, January 15, 1999

SEATTLE (AP) -- A federal judge rebuked Microsoft over ''arrogant''
new contracts for temporary workers requiring them to waive their right
to additional pay or benefits that a court might grant in the future.

U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour dismissed Microsoft lawyers'
defense that it covers only future work for the company. A lawsuit is
pending, and Coughenour said damages typically continue to accrue
right up to trial.

He called the software giant's efforts to exclude workers from future
court awards ''outrageously arrogant.''
