Washington Post Co. union members ratified a new two-year contract that protects 25% of newspaper employees from future job cuts without taking their seniority into account, reports Bloomberg. That's
a change from previous contracts, that said the newest hires must exit first. The contract covers about 960 union reporters and other workers. Gary Chaison, a professor of industrial relations at
Clark University in Worcester, Mass., said: "It seems that the Washington Post is trying to chip away at seniority rules."
