How the Guild could torment the Times Co.

One possibility: start adhering to work guidelines that are on the books, but that people have tended not to follow. 

Or, as Guild head Dan Totten put it in an email to the Guild's members today:

Dear BNG member:
 
A reminder that your work day per our Collective Bargaining Agreement between the Boston Newspaper Guild - Boston Globe (Article IV, sections 1 and 2) states members’ workday should not exceed 7.5 hours per day for those on a 5 day work week or 9.5 hours per day for those on 4 day work week. (See contract book for reference; if you do not have a contract book, please contact your BNG delegate and a contract book will be provided or you can view online at www.bgol.org.)
 
BNG members should not exceed their contractual workday.
 
The above is not new language but has been in existence for years for the workplace protection and workplace rights of BNG members.
 
In Unity,
 
Dan Totten
