NY Anti-Smoking Campaign Budget to be Slashed
Last month, the financially battered NY Times Co. had suggested it would close the Boston Globe, Massachusetts' biggest paper, because the paper lost $50 million last year and was on track to lose $85 million this year.

Currently two unions have made deals but negotiations are still continuing with the pressmen's union and the Boston Newspaper Guild. The Times bought the Globe in 1993 for $1.1 billion; it is also looking to sell its stake in the Boston Red Sox.

The unions better make a deal or there'll be no newspaper to work for. The papers can't be squeezed anymore than they have been. With unemployment running high and large newspapers folding, the unions can't have want they want and their members need the jobs.
The unions are socialists and socialists have a bad habit of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. It's just what they do.

One less left-wing rag. Good riddance.
