Members of The Boston Globe's largest employee union will vote on whether to accept deep concessions in wages and benefits designed to avoid the possible closure of a newspaper losing more than $1 million per week.

Voting by The Boston Newspaper Guild is scheduled to start Monday morning.

The proposed concessions call for an 8.3 percent wage cut, five days of unpaid furloughs and cuts to health care benefits, 401(k) contributions and pensions.
