Boston Globe publisher P. Steven Ainsley describes the wage reduction proposal as "part of the collective bargaining process -- a proposal and nothing more," while Boston Newspaper Guild president Dan Totten says the collective bargaining agreement is "not open at this time" for renegotiation and that the 10% wage cut is unanimously opposed by union leaders. || Read Totten's letter to union members. || The Boston Herald plays up the Globe proposal and buries the news that the Herald is laying off 160 press operators and other employees, while the Globe story buries the pay proposal.)
