Ended a call with my editor and another reporter short today to participate in a lunch walk-out today in protest of mgmt refusing to give our laid off colleagues the severance they deserve. It's simple. honor the contract. Pay our colleagues the severance they're owed.
I’m standing with my colleagues today to send this message to our company: Honor the contract. Pay our colleagues the severance they're owed. @latguild
My former colleagues like James are going to BAT for me and others who got laid off in January. L.A. Times management is trying to cheat us out of thousands of dollars in severance. Grateful to James and @latguild for continuing to fight for us
Taking a break in solidarity with my @latguild colleagues. Our managers refuse to honor a deal they made and are trying to avoid paying the full severance they owe our laid off colleagues. When we pointed this out -- a manager implied we could face more job cuts.
Out here with @latguild observing bargaining after the layoffs — and still getting work done — even as our managers keep sending security personnel to sweep the floor and keep an eye on us. It’s their right, but not exactly a sign some leaders want to work collaboratively!
To those who have sent messages of support, I can't thank you enough for your warm, appropriately profanity-laced notes.
The LATimes reported that Google spent $1.2 million on an ad blitz to kill the bill. Queenie Wong, the reporter who wrote the story, announced Tuesday she was among the journalists who lost their jobs. sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…
Francine is one of the greats. Heart of gold, with an artist's eye. This is all so wrenching.
