N.Y. Times Drivers’ Union Votes to Grant Concessions: New York Times truck drivers voted to end their three-week labor dispute, ratifying contracts that guarantee jobs in exchange for concessions to the paper and wholesale newspaper distributors. The vote ended a sometimes violent dispute that had hampered newspaper deliveries. Although the contracts will directly affect about 1,100 drivers, the voting was open to all of the union’s 2,900 members. The dispute had hampered deliveries of the New York Post and the Wall Street Journal, as well as the Times, because they were customers of the same distributor. The dispute broke out a day after drivers rejected contracts May 6, when a new wholesaler began hiring replacement drivers.
