Statement on the L.A. Times' decision not to issue a presidential endorsement

Please attribute to Los Angeles Times Guild Unit Council and Bargaining Committee:

We are deeply concerned about our owner's decision to block a planned endorsement in the presidential race. We are even more concerned that he is now unfairly assigning blame to Editorial Board members for his decision not to endorse. We are still pressing for answers from newsroom management on behalf of our members. The Los Angeles Times Guild stands with our members who have always worked diligently to protect the integrity of our newsroom.
