WSJ Faces Staff Layoffs and Union Walkout
TL;DR
The Wall Street Journal laid off at least five more employees, affecting the U.S. news and "speed and trending" teams, with notable reporters Erin Ailworth and Ben Kesling among those let go. Despite the layoffs, WSJ's editor-in-chief Emma Tucker highlighted over three dozen open positions in the newsroom. The lack of a clear business rationale for the cutbacks has led to employee unrest and a planned lunchtime walkout in protest.
