The Guild represents about 300 Globe employees, including editorial writers. The BBJ pointed out that Henry&#8217;s primary goal was to cut costs so that the Globe could survive. Now that Henry has achieved his goal of making the Globe profitable and has made this public when doing so weakens his bargaining position, the union and Henry are in a much better position to find a way to resolve their differences. This is hopeful news for the Globe&#8217;s writers and readers, but the prospect remains that a strike will not be avoided.<\/p>\n<p>John L.
