How the LAT fights the union

creditThe Times' Pressmens Club blog has photos up of all the anti-union banners and placards placed around the Olympic plant (and presumably in Costa Mesa too) in preparation for today's vote. "All pressroom supervisors and management are wearing shirts that urge the employees to vote no," Ed Padgett blogs. "I was offered a shirt, under the condition I wear the shirt tomorrow, I declined to do so." He intends to monitor the NLRB vote count on Saturday and post the results immediately. If you visit the blog with your sound turned on, you are likely to hear Publisher David Hiller's argument against the union.
