Boston Globe Staffers Lash Out at Union Leaders

Rank-and-file Boston Globe staffers are rising up against their union leaders, accusing them of keeping members in the dark over last week’s stunning ultimatum from the New York Times [NYT] Co. and questioning whether they’re putting their own interests first.

“There may be a reason why it had to come to a threat and it might have something to do with the way that our union leaders are negotiating,” one newsroom union member, who requested anonymity, told the Herald.
