Concerns About Severance Offers for Fired Postmedia & Torstar Employees

Canada’s two largest print and digital media firms, Postmedia and Torstar, have traded 41 local community newspapers with each other, with most slated to be shut down permanently. The move comes amid declining advertising revenues and a struggling print media environment.

David Vaughan, partner at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP, joined host Larry Fedoruk on Newstalk 610 CKTB, where the Toronto Employment Lawyer shared his concerns about inadequate severance offers that laid off Postmedia and Torstar employees are allegedly being provided.
