WE ARE TIMES GUILD!
@NYTimes management is refusing to acknowledge that our coworkers at @TheAthletic are a part of our unionized newsroom. Please read our statement in response:

[NewsGuild of New York @nyguild]

WE HAVE A DEAL: We have reached a tentative agreement with the @nytimes for our @NYTGuildTech members. Read more here...

[New York Times Tech Guild @NYTGuildTech]

A WARNING TO THE TIMES: Tuesday, we will be returning to work, after a successful Election Week ULP Strike. We clearly demonstrated how valuable our work is to @nytimes. And now we’ll move our fight inside.

[Eric Katz @ericnkatz]

What's disgusting? Union Busting

We're well into DAY 8 of our multi-day Unfair Labor Practices Strike.

Support @NYTGuildTech and tell @nytimes leadership that we're not playing games.

#BreakMyStreak

[New York Times Tech Guild @NYTGuildTech]

It's day 4 of our ULP strike and we are asking for support from all of our home cooks out there! Hold the picket line with us by #NotCookingToday - stay off @nytcooking while we fight for just cause, fair pay and remote work protections.

[New York Times Tech Guild @NYTGuildTech]

It's never too late to #Breakyourstreak! Stay tuned here for updates, the picket line lasts as long as our strike. In the meantime we have made an entire Games and Cooking website for you to use instead of @NYTGames and @nytcooking: https://t.co/OWqUIZat7f

[New York Times Tech Guild @NYTGuildTech]

CEO Meredith Kopit Levien and CTO Jason Sobel would rather put @nytimes journalism at risk than pay the workers who make it accessible to the world. Their corporate decisions are bad for readers, bad for workers and bad for journalism. #standwithTech

[Justin Heideman @justinph]

@nytimes New analysis: NYT management needs to bargain fairly with it's striking tech workers, @NYTGuildTech, that are striking for fair pay, just cause, and RTO protections. https://t.co/9CE9iCPGVi

[New York Times Tech Guild @NYTGuildTech]

To everyone standing with us by breaking your streaks, thank you! Here's today's strike-friendly Connections board we made for you #Breakyourstreak #nocontractnogames https://t.co/PF9YjBLgDQ

[New York Times Tech Guild @NYTGuildTech]

Our leadership @nytimes likes to pretend we’re replaceable, claiming they have a “robust plan in place” for handling election night traffic, but we know the truth: That plan is built on our labor.

[New York Times Tech Guild @NYTGuildTech]

The best thing about picket lines? The signs, of course!

Here are some of the best picket signs we’ve seen today! #UnionStrong

[New York Times Tech Guild @NYTGuildTech]

It’s Day Two of the biggest tech worker strike in American history — and we’re only getting louder! #UnionPower

[New York Times Tech Guild @NYTGuildTech]

ELECTION DAY STRIKE: We are back out on the picket line today. We know this is a hard day to be on strike for our members but we want to be clear: We are here because of the decisions of @NYTimes management.

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

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! ✊

[New York Times Tech Guild @NYTGuildTech]

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.

[Clare Sudbery @ClareSudbery]

The NY Times tech guild are on strike to win fair equitable pay, job security, and protected hybrid/remote work. I will be boycotting Wordle and the other NYT games (Connections, Strands, Mini Crossword, Letterboxed et al) for the time being: https://t.co/LbUjbOyLBD
