EvilMonkey Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Why? Because it's cheaper! I recall them not having a very positive editorial when Boing decided to give jobs to their non-union plant in South Carolina instead of the union one in Washington. Too funny. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/13/business...times.html?_r=1 The New York Times News Service will lay off at least 25 editorial employees next year and will move the editing of the service to a Florida newspaper owned by The New York Times Company, the newspaper and the Newspaper Guild said Thursday......The plan for the news service calls for The Gainesville Sun, whose newsroom is not unionized and has lower salaries, to take over editing and page design. Ms. McNulty said new jobs would be created at The Sun to handle the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Newspapers will eventually outsource to foreign workers as well to stay afloat. Bits and bytes travel well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 So they had an editorialist write a pro-union piece and now the times management, which is probably far, far removed from that, must only hire union workers. Another amazing post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How silly. Yeah, there have been. It wouldn't change my point, that the original post's point is stupid. Are we to understand that a newspaper's ownership and management not only endorses, but practices every editorial message they publish? And then, so, is Bill Krystal pro-union?

No, they allowed a pro union editorial while they themselves were anti-union. Sounds like allowing a dissenting opinion to appear. How would a anti-union newspaper printing an anti-union editorial, be a dissenting opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
