Friday December 1, 5:38 AM EST
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The largest union at Philadelphia's two biggest newspapers said late Thursday that it would continue negotiations Friday, past a midnight strike deadline, with both sides reporting good progress in negotiations.
Representatives of The Newspaper Guild of Greater Philadelphia and management said they were working to reach an accord on company proposals to freeze the pension and discard seniority of workers when it comes to layoffs.
"We still have a lot of work to do," Guild President Henry Holcomb said.
Holcomb said the Guild will be looking at the company's proposal early Friday and hopes to have a response ready by midday. He also said contract talks may extend for a second day.
