The relevant passage from a memo sent out this afternoon by the union representing the New York Times newsroom:

"Management informed the Guild that it has accepted a total of 74 News-side employees (60 Guild and 14 non-Guild) for the buyout. That leaves the possibility of as many as 26 involuntary reductions in staff, given that The Times announced its intention to eliminate 100 Newsroom positions by the end of December. On the business side, 61 people submitted buyout applications and the company accepted 42 of the applicants. "
