Postmedia newspapers in North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury and Timmins have all lost their sales departments
Advertising sales departments at the Sault Star, Sudbury Star and North Bay Nugget are the latest casualties of Postmedia Network Canada Corp.'s recent slow-slicing of its Canadian newspaper operations.
The Sudbury Star "is hoping to save the two sales jobs as the Northern Ontario Newspaper Guild has jurisdiction language in its contract that prevents the layoffs," the union said."Transformation initiatives for the year ahead include a combination of streamlining resources, product mix rationalization, outsourcing where possible and real estate divesture," Postmedia said on Jan. 12 as it announced its results for the three months ending Nov. 30, 2022.
On Jan. 24 of this year, Postmedia announced it intended to lay off 11 per cent of its 650 editorial workers. Hardly a week after that, Postmedia said it would sell the office and printing plant of its Windsor Star daily, resulting in the loss of about 75 media jobs. Postmedia and CWA Canada were asked by email and phone message to contribute to this article, but did not respond by time of writing.
