We make the tools that make @nytimes. Part of @nyguild. Now on Insta & Bluesky.

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.

There is no good reason why companies like @nytimes should be able to force workers who were hired to work remotely and have done so for years to move across the country to NYC at any time. We are not going to just roll over. Our members deserve protection and security.

When we proposed a unit consisting of all of our colleagues in tech, management responded by proposing that only the engineers should be eligible to be in the union. This, coupled with the company’s unfair labor practices, shows us that their real intent is union avoidance.
