The New York Times Co. has rejected five of the 63 Newspaper Guild employees who had applied for voluntary buyout packages.
Grant Glickson, the guild’s unit chair at the paper, said one employee has also withdrawn a buyout application, which brings the number of accepted buyout requests from union members to 57.
That would put the total number of requests at 80, including 23 from non-union employees. Publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. and Executive Editor Dean Baquet are looking for 100, which suggests there will be involuntary firings.
