WE FIXED IT: Obviously our successful rally had an effect on @NYDailyNews management, who felt compelled to “write” an op-ed. Unfortunately it’s full of mischaracterizations and missing key facts. As journalists we couldn’t let that slide, so we got out our red pens…
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)
✊🎉WE HAVE A DEAL 🎉✊
We are thrilled to announce we have reached a tentative three-year agreement with @NYtimes, pending ratification by our members. There’s so much to share but here are just a few highlights of the deal:
IT HAPPENED! We stood together and we got a great deal that's going to protect us through the next 3 years AND continue to build towards strong future contracts!
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
Hot: STRIKES
Not: STREAKS
That's right! While we are on strike, we're asking for a boycott on games and cooking! Break that wordle streak in solidarity with us while we fight for a fair contract.
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.
We are ready to fight for the contract we deserve, and we are sacrificing our paychecks to do so. Please donate to our strike fund.

We're teetering on the brink of a strike over election week! If you can help, please take a look at our gofundme.
Management still has time to wrap this up with some good faith bargaining...but we need to get this done!
.@nytimes mgmt has slow-walked bargaining & attacked the @NYTGuildTech every step of the way since workers first announced their intent to unionize in '21.
Tell the Times to stop their anti-union tactics and agree to a fair contract with Times Tech: https://t.co/fEp4Y8th2g #1u
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.’
Our friends in the @NYTimesGuild have passed a resolution in strong support of our strike authorization with a clear message to @NYTimes management: “The best way to avoid a disruption to our work is for management to offer a fair contract as quickly as possible.”
By a vote of 524-28, 95% of our members have just authorized a strike. As we head into the final weeks of this Election season, and on this important Debate day, we want the @nytimes to hear us: We are ready to do whatever it takes to get to a fair deal.
