CLEVELAND, Ohio — After initially fighting the decision to fire him, labor leader Dan O’Malley said Wednesday he has withdrawn his appeal and won’t try to get his job back at the North Shore Federation of Labor, Cleveland’s chapter of the AFL-CIO.

In a letter sent to the board on Saturday, and provided to cleveland.com Wednesday afternoon, O’Malley wrote he emphatically denies many of the accusations made against him, but that he thinks it’s best for him and the North Shore AFL-CIO to “write an end to this sad chapter and turn the page.”
