Yesterday (Sept. 24), Peggy Chapman, regional human resources director for Lee Enterprises, which is selling the North County Times to the Union-Tribune, wrote to Times employees that the "UT intends to bring on all employees as of October 1 in their current positions and salaries." Then she noted, "I must add that a handful of managers will not be presented offers from the UT, but they have been notified and will remain to help with the transition." (Note: companies making an acquisition often do not make significant layoffs until they determine the magnitude of job duplication.)
