More cuts looming at Journal Sentinel
Published July 1, 2009 - BizTimes Daily
Journal Communications Inc. is seeking more staff reductions in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel newsroom.
A lawyer representing the company met with members of the bargaining team from the Newspaper Guild Milwaukee Local 51 Monday, telling the union that the company wants to trim "substantially more than 25" newsroom positions from the staff, sources told BizTimes Milwaukee.
The latest round of reductions also could include managers, sources said. If the targeted number of employees does not accept the company's latest buyout offer, layoffs will follow, sources said. People accepting the latest buyout offer would need to agree to leave by Aug. 1.
The Guild has asked the company to clarify some of the details of its latest demands.
