Taking a Hit

Kevin Cullen, a longtime fav of mine at the Globe, has a great column today, telling of employee meeting at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

Prompted by CEO Paul Levy, BI employees enthusiastically endorsed the suggestion that they take cuts in benefits to help save jobs.

There's no direct connection between BI and Newburyport. But it seemed quite topical given the cuts in Amesbury, the proposed cuts and Trition, and the ongoing saga about whether Newburyport employees accept a lesser health plans.
