Philadelphia Newspaper Drivers Reject Union Deal Again, Sale Up-in-the-Air
The sale of The Inquirer and other local papers in the Philly area hit another snag on Sunday, as the union that represents delivery drivers rejected a proposed labor deal.
By a vote of 191 to 4, the Teamsters Local 628 voted down the proposal by Philadelphia Media Network Inc. for the second time. If an agreement between the two parties isn’t reached by noon on Tuesday, PMN will have the choice to walk away from its planned purchase of Philadelphia Newspapers, which owns The Inquirer, Philadelphia Daily News and the website Philly.com.
