Guild authorizes strike against Beacon
The Guild voted to authorize a strike against the Beacon Journal, according to today's story on the WKYC-TV web site.
BJ management is mandating a 25% to 30% wage and benefits reduction for Guild members while not asking managers to take cuts, Guild spokeswoman Stephanie Warsmith said.
Christine Sabo, director of marketing and community relations, said "the Akron Beacon Journal has been negotiating in good faith with its newsroom union since June 2008."

Not sure how this happened but WKYC reposted an old story that got picked up on this blog. The Guild authorized a strike vote some time ago but since approved a contract. -Stephanie Warsmith, Guild secretary
