Think of all the code they could be learning with the time they are spending complaining.

Layoffs ‘disproportionately’ impact people of color, according to the chair of the L.A. Times Guild Unit Council >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Thats because the LA Times and many, many others made a YUGE mistake.

They all hiored staff and managers based on the color of their skin rather than the degree of their ability and expertise.

POur entire military is manifest with this rot from the top down, witness Sec Def Austin.

This is the YUGE cost of accepting communist theory and dialectic approaches to , traditionally based on class, but now based on race, DEI, CRT, and “Equity” replacing justice.

Businesses that go full tilt DEI are learning that they cannot compete or make a profit. and so far many do not get it, but when they do, the Unions do not “get it.” Look At Coca Cola of Atlanta, Budweiser -Anhauser Bush.....

The second tier hit on busines is the battle with the Socialists and Marxist run Unions who are now playing the race card.........damn right its disproportional lay offs.........understandably so , because the hires were disp[roportional on the “qualification/merit/expertise scale.

Businesses are forced to lay off the racial dead wood they have hired based on skin color. If they want to hire based on skin color, they are awakening to the fact that they have to hire black folks who also have a high level of qualification for their jobs.

To surviuve in the world of business,it is becomeing evident that excellence in qualifucation and work ethic is a necessity.

Look at Trump’s businesses in New YOrk, he has managed to hire rcial minorities based on merit and excellence. It is a do-able line of management.

BUt at the LA Slimes , they want to do corporate hiring welfare.So non they will be no more, pffffftttt! Gone.
America will not miss them one little bit either.

Is there a white or American caucus in the L.A. Times Guild Unit Council?

“If these layoffs are allowed to go through, our caucuses will be decimated. The Latino Caucus will lose 38% of its members. The Black Caucus will lose 33% of members. The AAPI [Asian American and Pacific Islander] and MENASA [Middle East, North Africa and South Asia] caucuses will lose 34% of their combined membership,” Brian Contreras, a tech and artificial intelligence reporter, who was one of the impacted staffers, told Fox News Digital.


whites not mentioned.

Just look at the list of names of the people who were laid off. I think you’ll find that they were overwhelmingly diverse reporters,” they told Fox News Digital on the condition of anonymity.


looking at list of names, would that not be racist?

“Ownership has not articulated a clear vision for where the paper is headed


Yes he has, make it a regional paper and paper of records.

That is a good old fashioned plan.

You know, if they’d hired more straight white boys, they could’ve fired more straight white boys…

Paper owners noticed that it wasn’t the minorities who were still buying the paper, and the actual customers didn’t care about “diversity”.

This entire long winded article about what skin colors stay and what skin colors get laid off is total bullshit and illustrates once again what’s wrong in this country.

People should be getting laid off based upon merit alone. Period.

Oh freakin’ well. When you only print puke, expect decent people to rebel against the crap you print. Our local crap, puke newspaper here in NE Alabama is the Anniston Star. It has been called the Anniston RED Star for decades. The only way it stays in business is it is owned by the NY Slimes!!! of all people. They actually send people out who come to your home and make these wild offers of three months free if you will take the scription. I told the guy to tell his commie leaders down there to dump the liberal slant and move right, where 90% of the people around here are on!! This county votes for the republican party over the dims. I only get my news from on line conservative outlets. I watch Newsmax TV on my DirecTV every day, several times a day. I know there is a faction here that hates Newsmax, however, I have seen very little in their live programming that I can yell foul at. Hey are solid for Trump and want Nikkie to go home, so everyone can get behind our President!! So, watch them on the tube if you can get them or so to the website like I have also done and signup for their Newsmax Plus site. It is the same a TV but with as much more as they can pack in. At least we have one conservative voice. We should back it while we have it so that we do not lose it.

I'd be fine if they just laid off the smug, white liberal reporters. Everything the paper puts out is trash so it really doesn't matter who they lay off.

The problem of wokeness is that it injects the parasites, who then kill the host. And the country loses a business.
