NY Times union says over 1,000 ‘journolists’ will walk out next week |
2022-12-03 |
[NY Post] and the Journalistic quality of the NYT will actually improve More than 1,000 union employees at the New York Times have pledged to walk out if the news publisher does not agree to a complete and fair contract by Thursday, according to a tweet by the union on Friday. The NYT NewsGuild has sought wages that "keep up with inflation" as well as to preserve and enhance health insurance and retirement benefits that were promised during hiring, according to a letter signed by 1,036 members. "We will walk out and stop work for 24 hours, on Thursday, Dec. 8, if we do not have a deal for a complete and equitable contract by then," the letter read. The members of the union are also asking for remote work flexibility among other demands. A NYT spokesperson said "while we are disappointed that the NewsGuild is threatening to strike, we are prepared to ensure The Times continues to serve our readers without disruption," adding that the company’s current wage proposal offered "significant increases." Earlier in March, a group of nearly 600 tech employees at the New York Times voted to unionize as the company faced claims it unlawfully interfered with labor organizing. |

#4 So, a layoff is unemployment. A walkout and following class action prejudice lawsuit is a guaranteed job for the protected species. |

#3 So they want to stay at home where they can watch Twitter without shame and auto-generate stories and replies. "But who will create our famous cross-word puzzles?" HAL. HAL can make those. |

#2 I would say that the last guy out the door be sure to turn the lights off, but it sounds as if they are producing a bad paper through remote workers. Have Siri turn out the lights. |
