Glimmer of hope in Globe dispute

NEW YORK: The Boston Globe and a key union held marathon talks over employee concessions on Monday and will reconvene on Tuesday (local time), raising the possibility of a new outcome to a bitter labor dispute at the 137-year-old daily newspaper.

The Globe and the Boston Newspaper Guild met on Monday to discuss what the paper's management said were ways to implement a 23 percent pay cut in union members' salaries aimed at cutting $10 million in costs at the paper.

The union said the meeting would give it a chance to offer a new concession package.
