Chronicle workers vote 10 to 1 for concessions

Will San Francisco lose its major paper?

Chronicle workers vote 10 to 1 for concessions: "Saturday's agreement came 18 days after the Hearst Corp., owner of The Chronicle, announced that it would be forced to sell or close the 144-year-old newspaper if it could not achieve significant savings 'within weeks' through a mixture of union and nonunion staff reductions and other cost-saving measures.

The newspaper lost more than $50 million in 2008 and is on track to sink deeper into the red this year, Hearst said. The private New York company, which publishes 15 other papers, said The Chronicle has been losing money since 2001."
