Union Organizing at Times Pressroom

Mark Lacter from LA Biz Observed has a story regarding the union organizing at the two Los Angeles Times Pressrooms.

An internal memo from Mark Kurtich (Senior vice-president of Operations) was posted throughout the Olympic Pressroom last night, I requested a copy of Mark's message via e-mail, but no one was certain if this information could be shared on my blog, Mark?

As e-mail messages are posted on other blogs (from Los Angeles Times management) I will either link to the stories or copy and paste the messages for my co-workers to read, the majority of blue collar workers at the Olympic and Orange County production plants are not allowed to have access to internal messages or Times e-mail accounts, like myself.

I'm forced to read messages regarding the company I have worked at for thirty-four years on blogs, sure shows us blue collar workers where we stand in the eyes of management.

Negative a Negative again? Hey Ed if you need an account for business at work and requested it . You could probably make it happen.Most of us at work do not need inter office e-mail.Sorry you feel the way you do.

The first comment had a very large space in the body of the message, so the comment had the extra space removed, nothing was removed from the message itself.

Note the two different time stamps.
