The “New York Times” Site Could Be Shuttered on Election Day—Blame Bosses
The highly anticipated election day could have a significant setback. The New York Times’ website may possibly shut down due to unlawful orders from bosses to remove union members.
This would be a drastic change from the past, when the Times website has been a hub for election news and analysis. However, the possibility of a shutdown is very real, as the bosses have refused to rescind their orders.
The union representing the Times employees has filed a grievance over the matter, but it is unclear whether this will be resolved in time for election day. If the shutdown does occur, it would be a major blow to the public’s ability to get information about the election.
