New York Times tech employees on strike discuss impact on election coverage: ‘No contract, no needle’

The New York Times tech workers are on strike for a fair contract that represents the work they do, especially during the busy election season. The strike has left questions about how the newspaper will cover the election digitally. The tech workers are asking for fair pay, remote work flexibility, and job protections. They want a contract similar to what other union members have. The strike has caused uncertainty about the website’s appearance on election night, but the workers are committed to striking until a fair agreement is reached. Times management has expressed disappointment with the strike’s timing but is willing to continue negotiations.
