Philly's guild negotiates? deal

[Baron Scicluna]

It always amazes me how brave people are about risking other people's jobs.

It's not a risk if it's going to happen anyway.

Well, that's the trick, isn't it? How does one know that for sure?

The people running the Philly papers would be smart at this point to put out one very good (let's even say excellent) product every day, as opposed to two decent products. I love two-paper towns as much as anyone, but with the newsrooms merged it doesn't make sense to keep the fight alive.

Wick, that logical thinking. And as noted before it probably should've been done years ago. But there are plans to keep this fight going, especially on the digital front. It will be interesting to see what happens.

They've already had layoffs. And if management is so poorly-run that they need to end a contract 6 months early, then it's reasonable to expect that there will be more.

Thanks for admitting that you are guessing, too.

What guessing? Doesn't take a Nostradamus to see that the company wants to shed more jobs.

Deal has been ratified and guarantees both papers being in business for the next two years.
