Hundreds of journalists and other employees at The New York Times began a 24-hour walkout Thursday, the first strike of its kind at the newspaper in more than 40 years.
Newsroom employees and other members of The NewsGuild of New York say they are fed up with bargaining that has dragged on since their last contract expired in March 2021. The union announced last week that more than 1,100 employees would stage a 24-hour work stoppage starting at 12:01 a.m. Thursday unless the two sides reach a contract deal.
The NewsGuild tweeted Thursday morning that workers, “are now officially on work stoppage, the first of this scale at the company in 4 decades. It’s never an easy decision to refuse to do work you love, but our members are willing to do what it takes to win a better newsroom for all.”

Please make it permanent! Less propaganda and fake news = a better society.
They work at one of the most respected newspapers in the world. You do what? Stock shelves? Drive a truck? 😂
@Kevin C that is some funny sarcasm!
@Kevin C “The Long March Thru The Institutions” has long hollowed out any sense of real journalism at the NYT.
These days it’s nothing more than cover for political allies and pushing CIA lies (Project Mockingbird).
@Kevin C Whatever my job is it’s more honorable than the generations of your family engaged in prostitution 😂
Might as well just source articles direct from China instead of having domestic staff localize the content.
Replaceable with AI. Learn to install solar panels.
