The Milwaukee Newspaper Guild has completed settlements for Journal Sentinel newsroom employees who were laid off in August 2009. The last three settlements were signed in late July and early August.
We had filed grievances on behalf of 19 employees who were laid off last year despite ranking higher in seniority than others who were retained.
One of those employees, online producer Emmett Prosser, was offered his job back. He returned to work in March. The other 18 reached financial settlements with Journal Sentinel Inc.
