Globe union speaks out against Times Co.'s management
Posted by Emily Dilling on June 5, 2009 at 1:39 AM
The Boston Newspaper Guild's president has publicly criticised the management methods of the Boston Globe's parent company, the New York Times Co. The Associated Press reported.
Daniel Totten, the union's president, said the Times' executives made "wretched" decisions while managing the company and failed to require the same concessions for themselves as they demanded from their titles.
Totten did not, hoever, suggest the Guild vote down the proposed contract agreement that would result in an 8.3 percent pay cut and a week of unpaid furlough, the AP reported. The Times Co. has said if the contract is refused, they will implement a 23 percent across-the-board pay cut.
