Those paydays that New York Times Co. Chairman Arthur Sulzberger and President Janet Robinson received last year are once again coming back to haunt them.
The Boston Newspaper Guild, which absorbed more than $10 million in pay and benefit cuts to members last year in order to save The Boston Globe, has lashed out at the Sulzberger and Robinson 2009 bonuses and are demanding their lost wages and benefits be restored...
The Times Co. declined to comment.
The company raised eyebrows earlier this month when it revealed in a company filing that the pair of execs got higher bonuses in 2009, a year in which the company not only threatened to shut down the Globe, but also imposed a 5 percent pay cut on Times journalists and laid off employees...
The Times had threatened to sell or close the Globe unless it extracted major concessions from the unions. The Newspaper Guild had at first rejected the deal, but in a second vote agreed to take the pay cuts that the company demanded in exchange for not shuttering the paper....
Bill O'Meara, president of the New York Newspaper Guild, said only that members were "angry," but at this point no one was taking any official action.

Anyone want to search the NYT site and see if there were any editorials blasting executive bonuses at other companies?

The bonuses were given for wringing out concessions from the Boston unions.

The cannibalism of the Leftoids continues. We just have to hold on through the calamity they are going to cause. Then we eliminate them from power.

It’s just the Commissars peeing into the boots of the peasants, as usual. They’re taking their ill-gotten plunder while they still can and letting the loyal “little people” starve. Stalin dined lavishly while Kulaks practiced cannibalism.
