Guest slamminshaun Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 The New York Times decided they needed to cut 4% of their workforce!!! Who does that?? What about all those poor people? I wonder if Michael Moore will do a "Roger and Me part 2" and point out the fact that Janet Robinson (CEO of the New York Times) earns $780,000 base salary PLUS over $490,000 in bonuses. On top of that, she has $1.5 million in stock options!! Wow!! All of this while the people at the bottom are left to fend for themselves. Where's the liberal outrage on this like there always is against Walmart, Microsoft, General Motors, etc? http://www.wnbc.com/money/4998266/detail.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jamu Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 They are cutting their work force because of technological advances. Not because they are outsourcing work to Asian countries which cause the loss of American Jobs and American income. Plus I am assuming that The New York Times being in NY, probably has a labor union that is prepared to help the unemployed individuals get retrained, and into new jobs without losing benefits and pension plans. However it is sad to see the CEO adding excessive wealth to his pocket with out thinking about cutting some of his salary to maybe help some of his employees. Then again not everyone can be like the Pensylvannia paper company where the CEO took three months out of his salary to help his employees make it through some hard times.

Guest slamminshaun Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 The Boston Globe's employee union has issued a call to arms to protest proposed job cuts and what it calls rampant ``corporate greed'' on a par with ``Enron'' and excessive executive pay at the New York Times Co. Arthur Sulzberger Jr. ``takes a limousine to work that has his name emblazoned on it,'' and top executives take home millions in compensation.http://business.bostonherald.com/businessNews/view.bg?articleid=103678 Other then the Boston Globe, LIBERALS REMAIN SILENT. Why?? If this were Fox News, they'd be all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JMT Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 actually, slammer makes complete sense. there is just no valid counter for it.regarding delta, the airline business has had its same problems for decades. they seem to come and go every few years. the only ones that make money are the young ones, probably bc they dont have any pensions or as many benefits to pay. rising fuel prices where enough to push delta over the edge.

Guest slamminshaun Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 I saw the Delta story on the news....shit, its all over the freakin' place.....the NY Times story, however? Well, let's just say nobody would've seen that story unless I posted it. What makes the New York Times morally authorized to pay their CEO's millions while they cut 4% of their workforce...? This has always been the classic liberal argument, however, you're not hearing it from liberals in this case. Again I ask, why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
