Over the last 8 days, we accomplished something extraordinary: we held the first tech-workers strike in the nation, ran one of the first and largest remote pickets in the nation, and pulled off a successful boycott of both NYT Cooking and Games.

so you admit it? you admit that members of the nyt tech guild provide a vital public service at a consequential moment for our country?
Max Tani@maxwelltani4 Nov 2024
NYT publisher AG Sulzberger emails the Times newsroom saying the NYT Tech Guild strike will likely continue through the election. He says it is “troubling that the Tech Guild would try to block this public service at such a consequential moment for our country.”

We are on ULP strike. We gave @nytimes management months of notice of our strike deadline, we made ourselves available around the clock, but the company has decided that our members aren’t worth enough to agree to a fair contract and stop committing unfair labor practices.

95% of our members voted to strike because we want fair pay, just cause, and flexible remote work, and @nytimes refused to make a deal. Management spin doesn't matter though—worker power does.

Guys. If you think hundreds of people are going on strike over trigger warnings, you’re the mark.

So proud of my colleagues who have helped the @nytimes reach such a milestone. Too bad Times management doesn’t appreciate our work enough to give us a fair contract. #unionstrong #unionmadenyc nytimes.com/2024/11/04/busin…
