What the Independent fails to mention is that the Chicago Tribune also layed off additional newsroom people today, just 4 months after laying off 14 percent of its newsroom staff (over 80 people). Times are indeed hard for print media, regardless.

If the union really cared about the employees it represents, it seems like they should try bargaining at the table and not boycotting the businesses whose advertising revenue helps to pay its members their wages.
