Boston Globe Circles the Drain

Well it looks like we might see the end of a 137 year old newspaper because their union will not budge on pay cuts. I think this statement is indicative of their problems:

The union in question, the Boston Globe Newspaper Guild, represents mostly reporters, editors and business-side administrators and ad salespeople. The Globe's other six unions -- for pressmen, delivery truck drivers and mailers, among other groups -- had already agreed to concessions.

Yes, this company has 7 different unions representing their employees. Welcome to a "progressive" America if card check is passed.
