AP, Union Reach Tentative Agreement
After six months of talks, the Associated Press staff and the company have reached a tentative agreement for a new 33-month contract.
The contract would include three raises of 1.5 percent: one to take effect immediately, a second Sept. 1, and a third Sept. 1, 2012.
The contract also calls for a freeze in pension plans (with a small bonus for current pensionholders) and adds language that will prevent AP from laying off staff and replacing them with freelancers.
