TL;DR Summary
Unionized Los Angeles Times staffers are planning a one-day strike, the first in the paper's 142-year history, in response to impending significant layoffs that could affect up to 20% of the newsroom. The staff is protesting management's request to weaken seniority protections in the union contract and the lack of transparency regarding the layoffs.
