Past Actions

The coordinator of F.R.E.E, Robert Spang Martindell, is a veteran in coordinating three federal civil anti-trust actions over twenty-five years including a personal and favorable out of court settlement with the N.Y. Post presently owned by Rupert Murdoch.

F.R.E.E. has experience in developing and coordinating a 1996 federal anti-trust case filed against our local monopoly newspaper, the Gazette Telegraph, owned by one family with a billion dollars in assets and with no daily newspaper competition in our local market.

Guess what kind of high advertising rates we pay coupled with the minuscule wages and non-negotiable independent contractor fees, terms and conditions the Gazette unilaterally decides on for it's delivery personnel?

In 1977, Robert caused to have opened a criminal investigatory file at the Justice Department against Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation for alleged anti-trust violations in N.Y. Robert was informed by Bruce Repetto of the Justice Department that typically the Justice Department pursued anti-trust charges against the small to medium business owners instead of big companies because of the difficulty to gain convictions against businessmen like Rupert Murdoch with all of their political connections. This is called selective prosecution when you unfairly choose to prosecute one group of business executives/owners over another.
