SEATTLE (CN) - A longtime lobbyist for the Washington State Labor Council, which advocates for workers, says the Building Industry Association of Washington's executive vice president Tom McCabe defamed him by calling him "a felon" on the BIAW's radio show. Robert Stern claims McCabe refused to retract it, but offered only to say, "I have no evidence to support my assertion that he is a felon, and that he has only been arrested a number of times."
