SEATTLE (AP) - The Seattle Times and its largest union have tentatively agreed on a new, two-year contract that calls for no across-the-board wage increases, the newspaper reported.
But Liz Brown, the Pacific Northwest Newspaper Guild's administrative officer, said the union's nine-member negotiating committee was "strongly divided" on the proposal, and that some might not recommend members ratify it.
"It's a very difficult time to negotiate," Brown said, according to a report in the paper. "The company says it's losing money."
