Narrative:
Once again; someone at D10 approach control is removing my data blocks without my approval. Did not advise management because: 1. They were not here. 2. I have told them in the past and apparently they have done nothing about it. Management here is not open to anything bad; anything critical of the bigger facilities; or anything that causes them to do any work. This is my only way of notifying someone outside of this building and getting this issue on record.please do something about the person(s) at D10 before an incident occurs; this is a safety (traffic call) issue; and wake-up my management because this is easily solved. I will continue to report these until I realize nothing is going to be done; but believe me when there is an RA or near midair collision or crash; the press will find out and D10 will have to take the fall because I'm not; I've told the union and management and you. This situation has happened at least 6 times.
