Chron Guild rep Carl Hall tells the SF Weekly that in this most recent round of layoffs of union workers, management promised there would be “proportional” cuts of non-union managers and editors, but it hasn’t happened yet.

“I’m not a cheerleader for cuts in management’s ranks just to make us feel better,” says Hall. “But I think that it’s a fair point that if there are far fewer staff, why do you need so many managers.”
