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.
