Scroll down for details on Zell lawsuit

A few minutes ago I added the names of the Los Angeles Times columnist and former reporters who sued Sam Zell in federal court today, alleging he messed with the employees' stock plan. Here's the link.

Here's a wrinkle: Many of the Times staffers who were laid off in July have to decide this week whether to sign the waiver promising not to sue the company. I've already heard from a few who say it's a personal conundrum: sign the waiver and get the severance package, or refuse to sign and possibly lose the money.
