Article Abstract:
Philip Services Corp. has identified at least five individuals speculated to have made critical messages on the Internet about the company. The company was given a 60-day legal extension to decide if it will sue the identified individuals, namely, freelance journalist Paul Palango and his wife, John Gallagher, who previously told of his involvement, Michael Hilson and Martha Pierson. Philips, one of the largest recyclers of industrial waste in North America, was given a 60-day extension as opposed to the normal 30-day extension to file a lawsuit to the persons it said have defamed the company by attacking and libeling employees and management.
