Globe, Union Reach Deal
-----------------------



And the Boston Globe has reached a tentative agreement with its largest
union amidst threats of the newspaper’s closure. The New York Times
Company had threatened to close the Globe within sixty days if workers
did not agree to a series of major financial and contract concessions.
The Newspaper Guild says the deal will ensure the Globe’s continued
publication. Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, Senator John Kerry is set to
hold a hearing today on the future of newspapers.
