The New York Times, which has accepted the buyout applications from 57 staffers in the Newspaper Guild of New York, will lay off 21 more union members in its drive to cut costs and restructure operations.
Dean Baquet, executive editor of the NYT, told staffers the paper is "coming to the end of a painful period."
The Guild says the cuts will exceed the initial total job cut goal that NYT management used in announcing the most recent retrenchment plan.
Management turned down the buyouts of three Guild members. The union notes that the NYT "hired numerous new employees over past six months and made no effort to retrain long-term employees."
Under the Guild's current contract inked in November 2012, union membership at the NYT increased by 100 people.
The Guild promises to study the information NYT management used to target employees to make sure contract provisions were followed.
It vows to take the all necessary steps to enforce the pact.
