Dash management cuts jobs as attendance falls

(By Richard Craver, Winston-Salem Journal) - A dramatic drop-off in attendance at the Winston-Salem Dash's baseball games this season led the organization to reduce its off-field work force this week.

Kevin Terry, the general manager of the Dash, confirmed yesterday that there have been job cuts, but he declined to say how many positions were eliminated.

Sources told the Winston-Salem Journal that as many as 10 employees were affected. If all 10 employees were full-time staff, it would represent a 38 percent cutback of the 26 staff members listed on the team's Web site.
