The Boston Globe/NY Times is offering a regressive 4 year contract to the largest employee union at the Boston Globe, including a company health care contribution freeze that would see guild members paying nearly $900 per month for family health care coverage.

Moving forward we will have additional media campaigns and member rally's and actions.

The Boston Newspaper Guild greatly appreciates your support during our contract negotiations.

Please feel free to forward this to your colleagues and friends.
