Dear David:
Be very very carful. It is usualy the person trying to make things work better and more worker friendly who gets the axe. Perhaps you can get your work space moved as far from them as possible. Part of the problem may be the really untollerable pressure in a press room, been there myself. We all have ways of dealing with it, their's might be giving you a real pain, but the source of the pain may as well be short deadlines and the rest of the package of horrors of the job.
Hang in there Dave, and when it gets really bad - sing!
Cheers, Larry
