Postmedia newspapers in North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury 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 January 12 as it announced its results for the three months ending Nov. 30, 2022.
Under new ownership, that 30,000-square-foot structure is being converted to a 20-bed residential withdrawal management centre. "Two weeks later, another axe fell, with 120 advertising sales staff on Postmedia’s chopping block," the CWA Canada website reported.
