Papers' Other Unions Extend Talks, To Cross Picket Lines?
 |
But here's the real news, from the Associated Press:
"We think a strike is really going to hurt us," said Joe Lyons, president of the Philadelphia Council of Newspaper Unions, which represents nine of 10 unions at The Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News. "Whatever direction they're going, we totally disagree with that."
Asked if that means the unions, including the drivers, would cross picket lines, Lyons said: "If we have to, we will."
Are you ready for a scab Daily News and Inquirer? Either way, it looks like you're going to get it.

excuse me for being retarded, but I do have the flu---
does this mean that the unions are going to cross their own picket lines? or other unions are going to cross the picket lines of the 9 striking unions?
The syntax of the article (the wire--not yours) is making my head hurt.
