Montreal’s La Presse newspaper said it may suspend publication Dec. 1 if it can’t agree on a labor contract with its unions. Publisher Gesca, a unit of Montreal-based Power Corp. of Canada, is negotiating with eight unions representing about 700 employees, said Caroline Jamet, a spokeswoman at La Presse. Gesca wants to cut C$26 million ($23.6 million) in annual expenses at the French-language newspaper, including C$13 million in labor costs, she said.
