Los Angeles Times Press room to remain unionized

According to the NLRB website, L.A. Times press operators held a separate union organization election last week on whether to decertify their union. Preliminary results showed that 85 of the newspaper’s 90 press operators voted in an election that ended Nov. 30. Of those, 50 workers voted to stay with the Graphic Communications Conference/International Brotherhood of Teamsters union and 35 voted against.

The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing and being surprised that you keep getting the same result. Maybe this time will be different, but the odds are, the same thing is going to happen again.

The whole time I worked as a LA Times pressman we had no union. The Chandlers kept them out by giving us better pay and better benefits......mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Ya think Tronc might learn from this?
