Big pressroom cuts at Times

Ed Padgett at the Los Angeles Times Pressmens blog posted the news on Friday: 31 employees out, most in Orange County, some at the downtown L.A. printing plant. Just a year ago, the downtown plant voted to unionize. Among the cuts, according to Padgett, is the last Chandler family member still employed by the Times. The cut represents 10% of the pressroom staff.
