Fun decision: give away every labor right you have and guarantee that some S-T jobs will remain (I'm sure the new owners will go on a cutting spree just like every other company to buy a newspaper) or keep your rights and hope to God that someone else buys the paper so you don't lose your job.

Jim Tyree would be the name that comes to mind.
