AMI Orders All Employees To Take Furloughs

American Media, Inc. staffers have been on a roller coaster ride lately.  After clearing their debt at the end of 2010, AMI laid off three reporters from Star and National Enquirer last week and — according to New York Post’s Keith Kelly — the company is requiring all 400 workers to take three-day unpaid furloughs prior to March 31.  Company spokeswoman Samantha Trenk said the furloughs apply to everyone at AMI from top to bottom:

We are all being furloughed, from [President] David [Pecker] to the mailroom.
