Boston Globe's Largest Union's Members Seek To Remove Union Leadership

Just a few months after agreeing to a renegotiated contract The Boston Globe‘s largest union is seeking to replace the union leadership that saw them through this summer’s dispute with the paper’s owner, The New York Times Co.

The Globe reports today that some of the Boston Newspaper Guild’s members have started circulating a petition to remove the union’s seven-member executive committee, including its president Dan Totten.

“There’s a feeling that the executive committee has made a bad situation worse,” Globe copy editor and union delegate Tim Flynn told his paper.

Earlier this year, guild was the only Globe union to reject a new contract that offered deep cuts in return for keeping the paper alive.
