The management of The Boston Globe has threatened to begin the process of shutting down the newspaper in a dispute with its unions over $20 million in cuts.
The Globe's management says it has given its biggest union a copy of a notice it was prepared to file Monday if it was unable to agree on the concessions by midnight yesterday.
