BOSTON — Labor leaders at The Boston Globe continue to meet with representatives of the newspaper’s owner, The New York Times Co., about contract concessions that management says are needed to keep the Globe running.
A Boston Newspaper Guild spokesman said the talks were expected to last late into Sunday night.
The Boston Newspaper Guild is the Globe’s largest union. It said in a statement released Sunday morning that the deep cuts in workers’ pay and benefits that it is offering should be more than enough to save the newspaper. It said the union is confident the Times Co. is committed to reaching an agreement.
The Times Co. set a deadline of midnight Sunday for unions to make $20 million in concessions. It has said it would close the Globe unless concessions are made.
