Gannett Furloughs Non-Union Employees, More To Come

Gannett’s Community Publishing group and Gannett Publishing Services have announced that most employees will take a week of furlough in the first quarter of 2012, according to a memo obtained by Gannett Blog.

The furloughs have been announced for non-union employees but the company intends to ask the union to agree to similar cuts.

Some employees making below an unspecified income threshold won’t be affected, but everyone else will need to take the week, and accompanying pay cut.

The furloughs are expected to save millions, but won’t preclude further layoffs, the company said in a FAQ.
