June 24, 2008 Boston Herald outsources printing, cuts jobs Play video

(John Moroney, NECN: Boston, Mass.) - The Boston Herald is preparing to lay off 130-160 workers as the newspaper outsources its printing.

The Herald's owner says the company is shifting printing work outside the company because most of its presses are 50-years-old and in poor condition.

All of the workers being laid off are unionized print-shop employees.

NECN's John Moroney has details.
