A year-and-a-half ago, two-thousand employees of the city's two daily papers walked off the job over wages and work rules. The strike cost the newspapers more than $100 million and knocked circulation down by 30-percent. Some striking workers could be back on the job by next week, but most won't be so lucky...the newspapers say they will not lay off the permanent replacement workers who kept both papers running through the strike.
