* No News is Fake News - News Briefs on the P-G from Pittsburgh City Paper in December 2006 All sides are saying less and less about the labor negotiations between the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's ownership, Toledo-based Block Communications Inc., and the daily's nine unions, whose contracts end on Dec. 31, 2006. The quiet may be a positive sign. But union leaders also say they're making plans to take their views public if negotiations collapse. 'I don't think there's been any major strides yet,' says Mike Bucsko, head of the Pittsburgh Newspaper Guild.
:Tracey DeAngelo, the P-G marketing director designated as company spokesperson, would say only that 'talks are progressing.' But it's clear the company is asking unions for different degrees of sacrifice.
==Insights==
There are problems brewing at the Post-Gazette in September, 2006. The owners say they may be forced to sell the newspaper unless they're able to come to terms with their labor unions by the end of the deal. The paper says it has lost millions of dollars just this year, and they'll need union concessions in order to survive.
