Globe, union to meet on pay cut

BOSTON - The Boston Newspaper Guild meets with managers at The Boston Globe and the National Labor Relations Board as it tries to block a 23 percent pay cut imposed by the newspaper's parent company.

A Guild executive committee member told the paper that the union has "an offer of resolution" for management when the sides meet Monday.

The cut imposed by the New York Times Co. came after the Guild narrowly rejected a new contract with $10 million in annual wage and benefit concessions.

The Times Co. says it needed $20 million in annual savings from Globe unions to keep the paper open.

After the cut was announced, the Guild filed an unfair labor complaint with the labor board, which will meet with the union Tuesday.
