BOSTON -- A tentative deal has been reached between Boston Globe management and its Newspaper Guild, the paper's largest union, which had been holding out after all of the other Globe unions had reached agreements with paper.

The settlement was reached at about 3 a.m. Wednesday after a round of marathon negotiations that began at 5 p.m. on Tuesday.

Neither side was talking about specifics, but the deal means the 137-year-old paper will continue publishing.

"Out of respect for our members, the Guild and the New York Times Co. have agreed not to release details until Guild leaders have a chance to meet with our members," said Dan Totten, president of the Newspaper Guild, which represents about 700 editorial, business and advertising staff.

Globe spokesman Robert Powers said details of the latest deal would be released on Thursday.
