News from E&P that the newspaper Guild members of the Philadelphia Inquirer & Philadelphia Daily News, are preparing to go on strike Thursday night:

NEW YORK More than 600 Newspaper Guild members at the Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News signed up for strike benefits over the weekend, according to guild spokesman Stu Bykofsky, who said the union is also scheduling picket assignments for a strike that could occur as soon as midnight Thursday.

"We are preparing to go on strike as if we were going to go on strike because we cannot wait until Thursday," he told E&P. "We have to be ready to go."

Just one very relevant and important thing for both the Guild & Ownership of all MSM to consider: 2004-2005 National Hockey League Lock-Out.............................
