So be prepared that just before Christmas we'll all have another gift.

The Tribune's pressmen were told that they would face layoffs if they did not vote to approve the proposed contract to move operations to Tacoma. The press crew at The Olympian voted "yes" to lose jobs with severance. They could have voted "no" and faced a more uncertain future(which most certainly would result in the same layoffs when the printing contract comes up for renewal in April). Both shops were against the wall on this one.<BR/><BR/>Either way, it seems as if McClatchy was set on shutting down operations at The Olympian from the day they took over, despite it being a profitable paper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
