In my post on The New York Times’ interminable report on The Los Angeles Times’ interminable non-scandal, I referred to Henry Weinstein, “a veteran reporter at the paper”, as a “unionized staffer you can never get rid of.” Several readers have pointed out the LA Times is a non-union shop. So Mr Weinstein is not a unionized deadbeat but a non-union deadbeat. I regret the error.
But it does make the paper’s over-staffing with under-performers even less explicable.
