Guild Schedules Membership Meeting
The Newspaper Guild has just scheduled a meeting for this Wednesday evening, which Guild spokesman Stu Bykofsky says will be a "purely informational" session, meaning it's purpose is not to a.) vote on a strike or b.) vote on a deal.
The union's membership already voted several weeks back, giving union leaders the authority to declare a strike.
Second, according to Bykofsky, unions by-laws require that members receive 72 hours notice before being asked to vote on a contract.
"This is something we started talking about last week," says Bykofsky, "to inform our members, but it took us this long to find a hall that could accommodate our entire membership."
Bykofsky had no further information on any progres the two sides are making tonight.
The meeting announcement follows after the jump:
