jdobbin Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/reuters/090616/...us_globeandmail About 480 workers at Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper will vote this weekend on whether to give their union a strike mandate amid tense negotiations over a new contract, a union official said on Tuesday."The bargaining has been very difficult," said Brad Honywill, president of Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada Local 87-M. Canwest newspapers are also looking at cutting their wages. We'll see if the Globe goes the strike route. Quote
Borg Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Not always a wise thing to do - paper news - slowly going the way of the Dodo Bird. They may be out for a long time if they go - especially in today's financial climate Borg Quote

Smallc Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 It would certainly be sad if the successful national paper were to be brought down by a strike. Quote
