The Telegraph Journal eliminating a swath of unionized employees today in what some see as a union-busting move. According to Union VP and reporter Bruce Bartlett, the external sales department has been decimated over the past year and they aren't buying top brass's explanation that it's due to "technological changes."
Bartlett says only 5 employees are left in the department with the rest of the work being shipped off to BNI's non-unionized news magazine, K.V. Style. He adds they will be filing a grievance.
Last year the newsroom at the Telegraph Journal took a hit when Brunswick news opened up its new production center at Market Square.
