WE VOTED YES! (THREAD)
We are thrilled to share that our members have voted to ratify our new three-year collective bargaining agreement with @NYtimes… (1/3)

Multiple “On Strike” signs, noise-making rhythm instruments, and a person in a white shirt carrying a megaphone appear in the photo. A red overlay and bold, all-cap white text that reads “We won our contract!” are overlaid on top of the photo.

That wraps up tonight's livestream! Some things we've learned:
1. Union members aren't always great at word searches 🔍
2. @gaufre is a future Overwatch pro 🏆
3. When we fight, we win — both in real life and OW 🔥✊🔥
Thanks to everyone who tuned in! Goodnight!!

We are holding a Twitch stream tonight at 8pm ET. Join us to hear about what we're striking for and play the games our unit made without crossing the picket line! #breakyourstreak

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?
4 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.”

It's time to break your Wordle, Connections, and Crossword streak, the @NYTGuildTech is on STRIKE!
We stand with the New York Times tech workers as they fight for a fair and strong contract. Don't play any NYT games today! ✊

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.

One of the most offensive things we've seen from @nytimes during this contract fight is managers trying to discourage our members from striking and even providing a secret way to scab during a strike by feeding code to a contractor remotely. Union busting is disgusting!

Nearly 750 of our coworkers in the @NYTimes newsroom have signed a pledge supporting us. They are urging AG Sulzberger and execs to bargain NOW…

But management still insists on an eventual five-day per week Return to Office and an insulting 1% guaranteed general wage increase. We know this is unacceptable and will keep pushing for fair compensation and a reasonable remote and hybrid work policy.

BARGAINING UPDATE: Thanks to our members’ persistence, @NYTimes management agreed to more time at the table this week. Bargaining requires compromise, and we are doing our part. We are making significant moves and were able to reach 9 TAs in the past 24 hours.

With 3 weeks to the election, we are eager to make progress at the bargaining table this afternoon.
But we are ready to strike for equitable pay, job security, and remote work protections. Tell @nytimes to come to the table! #ReadyToStrike

With just 26 days left until the election, we are extremely concerned that @nytimes management is leading the company down a dangerous path towards a preventable strike. We are ready to bargain, but management's team is still stalling.

We are here to remind the execs at @nytimes that Election Day coverage doesn't work without us. Stop the stalling, come to the table and bargain so we can get this deal done and avoid a crisis.

HAPPENING NOW: A huge contingent of our @NYTGuildTech members are marching on the bosses at @nytimes - from the chants: "Hey A.G., here’s a headline: Election Day is your deadline!”

Today Hannah Yang, @nytimes Chief Growth Officer, sent out a bargaining “update” to our members, explaining that ‘While this may not be realized, currently, compensation is not and has never been guaranteed for unit members.’
