TORONTO -- A strike appears to be looming at the Globe and Mail.

The union representing editorial, circulation and advertising sales workers at the Globe says they could be on strike by midnight Wednesday.

Unifor says the 320 members are seeking pension protection and an end to what it says is a pay gap between male and female employees.

They have been negotiating with the Globe for six months, but Unifor says talks have not moved forward for the past two months.

Members gave their bargaining committee a 94 per cent strike mandate two weeks ago.

The union says it wants the employer to move all unionized employees into a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan.

It says about 57 per cent of Globe employees are in a single-employer defined benefit pension plan, while 36 per cent are in a "much poorer" defined contribution plan.

A spokesman from the Globe and Mail did not immediately respond to request for comment.

A subsidiary of the Globe and Mail holds an investment in The Canadian Press as part of a joint agreement with the Toronto Star and a subsidiary of Montreal's La Presse.

Striking in a business vertical that's hanging on by the skin of its teeth. This would seem to be a questionable strategy.

Growing up I had a paper route, was not aware anyone still reads from newsprint these days.

The milkman disappeared eons ago, newspapers will soon join that fate.

Striking in an anachronistic moribund industry. It’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for them.

Aggregation of social media sources covering the story from regular people to well established sources. It takes time and effort, however effort and time will strengthen develop your network of sources from credible to manipulated and heavily controlled to just biased sources and opinions. Every story or perspective is biased including our own. The more perspective we consider the closer we are to the absolute truth. It’s up to us how much time and effort we choose to put in and how much we care for integrating and approximating towards the absolute truth.

Another way to consider this is the Wisdom of the Crowd principles..

The problem with this, though, is when you have people purposely poisoning the well with propaganda and blatant nonsense, and people who mindlessly share it. There is no wisdom in the crowd when half of that crowd is talking about something that never happened.

Social media is absolutely the worst place to get your news.

Not when you are actively trying to find varying perspectives especially the conflicting ones. Eventually the roots of these become clear especially if you look at the posters history the people they follow and who follows them. There is a lot of truth here if you care to look for it.

At the end of the day politics, religion, culture are the root of all of our issues. They divide us, they strive to control us, take away our free will and destabilize our humanity.

Solution are universal principles based on love for humanity and the earth i.e. strive to give others more then you take from them such as monetary, time and their emotional capital. For the earth try to improve your way of living and reduce your impact and promote sustainability.

If you have a universal structure in place the roots of all our problems will be easy to detect especially when they lie within us.
