New York Times Contract Settlement Will Happen By November, If At All
Posted: 10/12/2012 | By: The Huffington Post
Bill O'Meara, the president of the Newspaper Guild of New York, said
that he expects mediation at the New York Times to produce a contract by
November, if at all.
"If we’re going to have a settlement, it is going to happen between now and probably early November," he told Poynter. On Wednesday, the newspaper and the union announced that they will enter mediation
to help break the deadlock in the talks. The mediator, who will attempt
to broker a deal between the two sides, will be Martin Scheinman.
