P.M. BRIEFING : N.Y. Post Faces Live-or-Die Vote
Members of a key union will vote this evening on whether the New York Post, the nation’s oldest newspaper, lives or dies.
The New York Newspaper Guild, the largest union at the 189-year-old tabloid, votes on whether to accept a management demand that members take a 20% pay cut and accept more than 40 dismissals as the price for keeping the paper alive.
Many guild members say they expect the vote to be close and that there is strong feeling against accepting the proposal out of fear that it would not guarantee the paper’s existence for the long term and could endanger pension and severance rights. The union’s leadership is split on whether to accept the pay cuts.
