Everybody’s least favorite hometown paper, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (full disclosure, I’m a subscriber, but only because my wife says we save more in coupons than spend on the paper), will be negotiating a new union contract as the last one has expired. Management had a 37 page list of demands; the union, AKA the Newspaper Guild, responded by asking for an 18.6% wage hike. Oh, this is gonna be good — well, better than the paper, anyway.
