The men and women of Operations at the Los Angeles Times were treated to some great tasting barbeque yesterday for their performance after the passing of John Wooden last Friday. The backup impacted the night shift and morning shift at the newspaper last weekend. But somehow our delivery agents stuffed the newspapers and delivered to our subscribers in a very timely manner, with newspaper deliveries an hour to two hours behind the regular delivery times.I questioned our plant manager yesterday regarding whom to thank for the great feast and he stated it was paid for by our senior vice-president of production, at a cost of $2,500.
In my humble opinion the SVP most likely had a gun at his head before he spent the money on the employees he dislikes so strongly.
Our publisher, Eddy Hartenstein, made a surprise visit to the Olympic Plant last night, and I would like to thank Eddy for treating us to lunch.
whatever ed 25000 i would of done way better i didnt even see any drinks and was told to ration food give me a break... ill be sure and not go to the next so called barbaque like many of the pressmen decided to do
