Eddy Hartenstein Buys Employees Dinner

Employees at the Los Angeles Times have witnessed many changes under the ownership of the Tribune Company the last ten years, which the company representatives blame on the Internet.

Just like a hospital, fire station, and police department, the newspaper always has someone working twenty-four seven, weekends, and holidays.

One of the bright ideas from Tribune Towers in Chicago, to conserve funds, was the elimination of the free meals for employees working on Thanksgiving and Christmas, while the company gave out lucrative bonuses to the executives.

This year was much different from many as the publisher of the Los Angeles Times, Eddy Hartenstein, bought Thanksgiving dinner for the employees that worked the holiday.

This was appreciated by most and I would like to thank Eddy for this move in the right direction.
