Some detail missing from this article. Until 1995, the Detroit Newspapers were still printing on relief presses using lead plates, that were typeset by union workers using antiquated linotype machines. During the strike, smaller editions of the two papers were produced; the page layouts were done on Macintosh computers in a motel room in Brighton, Michigan, and a zip disk was driven each day to a modern offset printing plant in Ohio. The union had been very powerful, and had used its power to prevent the papers from upgrading to new technology and eliminating outdated jobs. It was during the 1995 negotiation that the newspapers put their foot down and demanded they be allowed to modernize their production methods. This is a significant and rarely told part of the history of this strike. RJBowman (talk) 17:33, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
