The longshoremen were recentlly told the new automated dock wouldnā€™t mess with staffing. They kicked it off and it works flawlesslyā€”no people allowed. We got word that a publishing group in our industry cut all staff salaries. They have downsized over the last couple of years to a total of four editorial staff members, and all payments to writers and photographers have been slashed or eliminated.
