Negotiating Committee Press Release, 4:47 p.m.

Village Voice union members from editorial, production and sales staged a symbolic walkout at about 4 p.m. today, to illustrate to management what the office would look like in the event of a strike.

Addressing the members, Jim Hoberman, a Voice film critic and a member of the union’s bargaining team, emphasized to members the importance of holding the line against management’s demands to cut health care benefits and eliminate the company’s 401K contribution. 

With about seven hours to go before the contract expires, the two sides are still talking, but there has been little movement in the negotiations.
