The Boston Globe's largest union, the Boston Newspaper Guild, plans to hold meetings with officials from the Boston Globe and the National Labor Relations Board in hopes of stifling the 23 percent pay cuts proposed by the New York Times Co. the Boston Herald reported.

The pay cuts follow the union's rejection of a plan which included $10 million worth of wage and benefit concessions. Times Co. has said it needs to find a way to make concessions which would yield $20 million in savings in order to keep the Boston paper open.

Amidst the projected cutbacks, the Guild filed an unfair labor complaint which the National Labor Relations Board is expected to consider this week. The union has also appealed to the Boston Globe's managers, asking them to do away with sweeping plans to reduce wages.
