COLUMBUS, Ohio--Internal pressure was mounting for months ahead of the February firing of the staff of an agency charged with protecting the well-being of Ohio's massive insurance fund for injured workers.

Employees complained about the leadership style and priorities of Director Virginia McInerney. McInerney viewed the staff as often disrespectful, moody and at times uncooperative.
Caught in the cross hairs was an important analysis the office was preparing on a bill aimed at slowing down controversial changes to the Bureau of Workers' Compensation group insurance discounts for employers.
