NJ Newspaper Threatens to Close Sans Union Deal

Vezza told The Associated Press that the deadline is not a threat but a reality. The Star-Ledger is the cornerstone of a group of newspapers under Advance Publications, a privately held company owned by the Newhouse family.

The production unions issued a joint statement in which they said their study of the newspaper’s ad revenues were different than those the company reported. They feel the newspaper is trying to coerce production workers into accepting steep wage cuts.
