Globe union sees `final offer’
June 27th, 2009
A union representing workers of The Globe and Mail says the newspaper’s management planned to email staff today with a "final offer" to replace a contract that expires next week.
The editorial, advertising and circulation workers voted 97 per cent Saturday in favour of strike action.
While negotiations resumed Monday, a strike/lockout date has been set for midnight June 30 for the almost 500 employees faxless payday loans.
Management had proposed a six-year deal, which includes a total compounded salary increase of 7.2 per cent over six years.
