New employee relations director a good thing?

I had a conversation with someone who brought me some new facts about the new labor relations director.

Macfarlane decided to remove the issues from the current executives by bringing in this new executive.

This is being done because Macafarlane has recognized the complete and utter failure of his current executive management to effectively deal with the ongoing labor problem and the resulting destruction of employee morale.

He can't get rid of the executive staff right now, but he can bring in someone else to usurp the current people in charge.

Interesting theory isn't it?
