Earlier this year, some 100 production workers were laid off at the Detroit Free Press and Detroit News, both owned or operated by Gannett. Now it’s the turn of editorial employees. Between 100 and 150 editorial workers at both papers and some support staff for both papers could be laid off soon.
Layoffs would be be seniority in union-represented areas, and those working under union contracts would receive severance pay per labor agreements.
Those without contracts would be out of luck.
That’s what I hear. Anybody know more?
