Instead of 90% of your salary now you will have 0% of your salary. But you showed them the UNION was hanging tough...
This newspaper can't die quick enough. And, ironically, the NYT is one of today's best union busting companies out there right now!!!!

We never expected high salaries; we just wanted reasonable pay, enough to make ends meet.
Wrong. They have become accustomed to a lifestyle, and they dont’ want to reduce it.
23% pay cut? I feel sorry for them, but the choice seems clear. Take the pay cut or look for work as the paper folds.
Journalists just don’t produce a unique product anymore. Finding someone that can write stories about local events just isn’t that difficult. Journalism is no long a profession in the same league as a doctor or lawyer. It is now more like a trade like auto mechanic or bricklayer.

We believe that you don’t want us to take a 23 percent pay cut.
Hey Globies. Here is the choice take a 23% cut today or take a 100% cut tomorrow. You should be glad you are getting the choice. A lot of people lately have just been shown the door and not give the choice of being able to keep 77% of their pay.

"We have long admired your commitment to producing the world’s best journalism. We know, as a former reporter, that you appreciate the work we do and how we have continued to publish hard-hitting, thoughtful papers throughout these hard times." It's hysterical to see such poor sentence construction from "the world's best" journalists. In the second sentence above the clause "as a former reporter" should follow the words "that you", rather than precede them.
To: abb
We know, as a former reporter, that you appreciate the work we do and how we have continued to publish hard-hitting, thoughtful papers throughout these hard times. Shouldn't that read:
We know that you, as a former reporter, appreciate...
or
We know, as former reporters, that you....
To: abb
Mr. Sulzberger, we’re asking for your leadership. You can make a difference. We desperately need it right now. Propagandists by day. Ass kissers by night.

This is full of a$$ kissing and blatant flattery.
What a joke!
