“The New York Times Tech Guild went on strike Monday in a move that could complicate the newspaper’s ability to cover Tuesday’s US presidential election. The Guild represents more than 600 software developers, data analysts, and designers whose work upholds the organization’s digital products, including its live blogs and the Times’[s] election needle. The union has said roughly half of its members are directly involved in supporting the paper’s election coverage …. The union said they gave Times 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.’ In a letter sent to the tech workers on Sunday, the newspaper’s management said it had put a ‘strong offer on the table,’ The New York Times reported.” (11/04/24)
