New York Times technologists strike over return-to-office rules

The Times Tech Guild (TTG) said the work stoppage began at 1 p.m. ET and nearly 700 workers held protests on Zoom and outside the company's Manhattan headquarters, where some wore Halloween costumes.

The New York Times enacted its return-to-office policy before the tech union was recognized early last year and became the largest tech union in the US with bargaining power.

“The Times is now not only refusing to recognize our right to bargain when we return to the office, but is going a step further and using it as a tactic to intimidate us,” said Kathy Zhang, the union’s unit president.

“We believe that allowing people the flexibility to work together in the office at times and combine it with remote working at other times will benefit everyone,” a spokesperson for the media company said.
