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.
