New York Times Tech Guild Ends Strike, Continues Contract Fight

Following eight days of an unfair labor practice (ULP) strike, New York Times Tech Guild (TNG-CWA Local 31003) workers have returned to work and ended their boycott of New York Times Games and Cooking. The strike was one of the first tech workers’ strikes in the U.S., and the striking workers ran one of the largest remote pickets in the nation.

Each day of the strike, hundreds of workers and supporters showed up on the picket line to offer their solidarity, with thousands more across the country breaking their Wordle and Connections streaks to avoid crossing the digital picket line.

While New York Times leadership continues to risk the company’s journalistic mission and waste extraordinary amounts of money to avoid speaking with the Guild, a strong contract remains the Times Tech Guild’s top priority. Now management knows what the Guild is capable of. Tech Guild members are looking forward to continuing the fight at the bargaining table.

The Guild is asking supporters to sign a petition urging New York Times management to stop union busting.
