Peninsula Press Club: Santa Cruz daily to be printed in San Jose
Six weeks after acquiring the Santa Cruz Sentinel, Dean Singleton's MediaNews group has decided to print the 25,000-circulation daily at his Mercury News plant in San Jose. As many as 33 of the Sentinel's 120 employees will be looking for work as a result of the switch.
The move comes a week after MediaNews voided the paper's contract with its 10 Teamster pressmen. They will receive two weeks of severance pay for every year of service with a cap of 24 weeks. In addition, 23 employees in the paper's mail room will be let go, but it is unknown how much severance they will get, if any.
