Newspaper jobs to be saved through deal with Postmedia, union says
VANCOUVER — A union representing staff at two B.C. newspapers says it has reached a deal to save jobs after dozens of employees were issued lay off notices.
Postmedia announced plans last month to layoff 54 employees at the Vancouver Sun and the Province in a bid to cut costs at the newspaper chain.
Unifor Local 2000, which represents the workers, said at the time that it would fight the cuts.
The union has issued a statement saying a tentative deal has been reached with the company that “includes saving a number of jobs.”
