I’m not certain how many subscribers have fled the Los Angeles Times over the fiasco yesterday, but the numbers will be revealed to the pressmen shortly as the amount of newspapers produced daily will most definitely decline deeply. And don’t forget, the people in charge of Operations were handsomely rewarded with fat bonuses, which they should return to the laid off workers immediately.Orange County Press Operator Rick Hernandez responded quickly when he was requested to cancel his vacation, which he was half way through, returning to the Orange County Facility to produce newspapers Friday morning.
Rick writes:
"Tell management that we pressman are not the enemy, we are dedicated and that’s why we earn our pay. How about giving us dignity and respect like Steve Kawatski does at our plant? Let’s show management the pressmen are a team".
I couldn’t agree with Rick more, right on my brother!
The public relations damage at the Los Angeles Times was great, with thousands of dollars in rebates to the advertisers for newspapers not delivered to our readers. We have a few anchors here at the LA Times that need to be jettisoned overboard, and quickly.
