Papers Not On Strike… Yet?

As you probably know by now, the Inquirer and Daily News are not on strike. Both sides talked throughout the night and the Guild decided not to walk at midnight, letting us have at least one more Big Fat Friday! Hooray!

Of course, the rumors at 400 N. Broad are swinging from “never going back to work again” to “very brief strike,” so a strike still seems likely at the moment. Management is still offering plans for pension, seniority and combining functions of both papers that the union is unlikely to accept. There’s also been talks about a brief, 2-3 year contract, which means they could all be doing this again in just a short time! Hooray again!

As usual, memos and other random bullshit to follow all day. Any updates you can find here (hooray!) or on Steve Volk’s Daily Strike blog (also hooray!).
