L.A. Times Workers Walk Out over Planned Job Cuts
-------------------------------------------------

In California, unionized staff at the Los Angeles Times are holding a
one-day, multi-city walkout today to protest massive planned job cuts.
It's the first-ever newsroom work stoppage in the history of the L.A.
Times. Over 100 journalists, or about 20% of the newsroom, are
reportedly at risk of losing their jobs. This comes less than a year
after the paper cut 74 newsroom jobs. The L.A. Times is owned by
billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong.
