Postmedia cuts more than 75 printing, inserting jobs in Windsor: Unifor

Postmedia has cut more than 75 jobs by outsourcing the printing and inserting of the Windsor Star, according to Unifor and CWA Canada.

The unions said printing is being transferred to a Toronto printer, and the papers will then be shipped back to Windsor for distribution, while inserting will now be done at a plant in London, Ont.

The printing plant workers are covered by Unifor, while CWA Canada represents the inserting members.

In a press release Monday evening, the unions said they are protesting the decision and urging the newspaper publisher, which owns publications across the country including the National Post and Vancouver Sun, to reconsider.
