New York Times Tech Guild Ends Strike
The New York Times Tech Guild, representing over 1,000 engineers, product managers, and designers, ended its 11-week strike on December 23, 2022. The strike, which began on November 1, was the first major work stoppage at the New York Times in 40 years. The guild had been negotiating for months with the company over wages, benefits, and job security but had reached an impasse. The strike ended with a tentative agreement that included substantial pay increases, improved health care benefits, and the creation of a new job classification for junior engineers. The agreement also established a joint committee to address issues related to professional development, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
New York Times Tech Workers Go on Strike
New York Times tech workers have commenced a strike, resulting in the suspension of the publication’s digital operations. The move comes after months of unsuccessful negotiations between the union and the company.
The strike, the first in the Times’ history, involves over 1,100 tech employees, including software engineers, product managers, and data scientists. They are demanding higher pay, improved benefits, and greater job security.
The Times’ management has expressed disappointment with the strike and called for the workers to return to the bargaining table. However, the union remains adamant, citing the company’s unwillingness to meet their demands.
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.
