What we can say is just about half of the members took time to participate, and there was a significant "no" vote. After hearing all of the discontent in ratification meetings, the Guild bargaining team encourages the members to add their individua...

Times Negotiations - The Blog. Friday, July 28, 2006. Let's talk some more. We will keep meeting. That’s the most significant agreement reached Friday in talks between the Guild and Times management. The company team had been resisting setting more dates beyond Friday, saying it wanted to conclude negotiations sooner rather than later. So the company offered to put more dates on the schedule, and for that we are glad. The next two sessions will occur Aug. 4 and Aug. 11. We also introduced a new severance...

Times Negotiations - The Blog. Friday, June 30, 2006. Victories, but more remains to be done. The power of being part of a unionized workforce was never more evident than on Friday in the Guild/Times bargaining session.
