The union representing employees at MediaNews Group's Northern California newspapers has struck a deal that sounds a lot like what non-union employees in the chain's Southern California newspapers got - a week-long furlough and a vacation freeze in exchange for a wobbly pledge not to lay anyone off. FishbowlLA has the story here.
*Correction: As a comment rightly points out, the non-union LANGers will be forced to take 10 furlough days, not five as stated above.

The company has implemented a 16 week period in which employees at non-union papers in southern California will not accrue vacation time and a 10 day furlough, which shall be taken over a 12 week period, employees can use vacation time for furlough days.
I hear that something big is happening on Feb 1 involving BANG and LANG...
This group use to be amusing to poke fun at, now, it is just very sad.
Shut up and pay your dues.
Yep, real big. They are actually going to print a local newspaper.
