Boston Globe union accepts deal

Members of the largest union at the Boston Globe have voted by nearly two to one to accept pay cuts in an attempt to save the struggling newspaper.

In June the union, the Boston Newspaper Guild, rejected a similar deal.

The Globe’s owner, the New York Times, wants to sell the loss-making title.

Analysts say the pay and benefit cuts approved by the union may make it a more attractive purchase for potential buyers.

The Globe’s owner, the New York Times, had imposed a 23% pay cut after the union originally rejected the proposal.

The Globe, one of the oldest big-city US newspapers, lost $50m last year and is expected to lose $85m this year.

The Boston Globe is the latest title to find itself squeezed by falling sales, rising costs and declining advertising revenues.

Traditional papers also face stiff competition from websites offering news content for free and other sites luring away classified advertisers.

At least 12,500 jobs have been lost in US print journalism in the past two years. </p

Leg-cutting funeral home to close

A judge in the US state of South Carolina has ordered the closure of a funeral home where an employee cut off the legs of a 6ft 7in (2m) body.

The worker used an electric saw to sever James Hines’s legs at the calf to make his body fit the coffin in 2004.

The owner had contested the revocation of his licence, saying he was absent when the incident happened and pointing to an otherwise unblemished record.

But after a brief hearing, the judge confirmed the business should close.

Earlier this year the owner of the funeral parlour in Allendale admitted that his father, who helped with cleaning and embalming bodies, had sawn off Mr Hines’s legs.

The admission came after a former employee told police about the incident, four years after it happened.

In April South Carolina’s funeral board exhumed the body and found the severed legs in the coffin.

Mr Hines has since been reburied in another coffin.</p
