The management of the Los Angeles Times has announced that it intends to imminently lay off a significant number of journalists, and is asking the Guild to gut seniority protections in our union contract so they have vastly more freedom to pick whom to lay off, the guild said in a statement on Thursday.
While the newspaper's management has not announced the number of planned layoffs, the jobs will affect at least 100 journalists, or about 20 percent of the newsroom, the LA Times reported on Thursday, citing knowledgeable people.
