Looks like the revolving cost-cuts at MediaNews will result in three likely layoffs at the Long Beach Press-Telegram and Daily News of Los Angeles. In a letter to Southern California Media Guild members, guild reps note that as many as six layoffs were being considered, "which included content, production and supervisors," but "[t]he list has been trimmed to 3 and is still being reviewed."
*The letter leaves unclear whether both papers would be affected by the layoffs. I'm seeking clarification.
**From what I'm told, the layoffs would most likely occur at the Daily News.

I can see it already: this reduction in layoffs will be celebrated by the guild as a "victory"
" this reduction in layoffs will be celebrated by the guild as a "victory"":
Uh, excuse me, but layoffs happen because the employer wants to shed staff and having a union in place – any union – can't stop a company from cutting its workforce. So ANY REDUCTION in the number of layoffs would be a good thing, no matter how it happens, don't you think?
Not if you're the guy getting axed.
and clearly it's all the union's fault, not the company or anyone else.
do you even realize just how retarded you sound?
