On July 17, 2012, after months of contract negotiations with the
Newspaper Guild of New York, Times management blew up talks. The
inexplicable move is aimed at forcing The Time's "last best" offer on
members. The draconian and rarely used tactic - called "impasse" -
would undo 17 months of negotiations. Times management proposed
dividing the Guild's bargaining unit in two. If impasse is declared,
the Guild would challenge the move at the National Labor Relations
Board. A strike authorization vote, members' only other recourse, is
another option. Guild members Henry Fountain, Andrew Martin, Clay
Risen, Dan Witter, Nadia Taha, Hilary Howard and Jim Dwyer explain
what's at risk.
