Ex Rite Aid chief to plead guilty in federal case
Ex Rite Aid chief executive Martin L Grass was set to plead guilty in a federal case alleging schemes to defraud shareholders. The resignation amid irregularities led to criminal charges against Grass and other Rite Aid managers. A jury had been chosen for Grass and Brown, with Bergonzi testifying per a plea deal. Sorkin faces separate trial on obstruction and grand jury lies. The indictment claimed vendors were ripped off and SEC fraud concealed as Rite Aid restated billions in earnings.

Weirton Steel workers urge CEO to renounce post bankruptcy bonuses
Labor leaders at Weirton Steel in Morgantown urge CEO John Walker to publicly pledge no retention bonuses for himself or top managers as the company negotiates Chapter 11. Spokesman Gregg Warren says bonuses would require bankruptcy court and bank approval, and Walker has no plan to take such pay. Weirton Steel, a tin producer across from Steubenville, filed for bankruptcy May 19 after five years of losses. The firm operates under a $225 million financing package to reorganize.
