I'm baffled by @NYTimes's decision to eliminate our Sports desk & replace it with @TheAthletic, which is owned by NYT but isn't unionized. It's not just disrespectful—it's union-busting. I've joined 1,000+ of my colleagues to demand that management stop violating our contract ✊🏼

The @nytimes violated core principles of our contract with its decision to shutter our Sports desk and replace it with The Athletic. We will not stand for the company’s brazen union-busting or its attempts to pit workers against each other.

The grievance is the latest twist in the Times’s stewardship of the Athletic, which has lost tens of millions of dollars since the purchase.

There aren’t enough #GuildStrong emojis to express how proud I am of @NYTimesGuild for building the kind of solidarity that made this possible. Cause when we fight, we win. ✊🏾💪🏾⚖️🎉
After more than two years of negotiations, we can finally say it: @NYTimesGuild and @nytimes have reached a tentative agreement on a groundbreaking new collective bargaining agreement.

Members of @NYTimesGuild have been without a contract for TWO YEARS. Most of our members haven't had a raise in THREE. Meanwhile, our executives have gotten millions of dollars in extra pay and bonuses. Don't think that's fair? Send a letter at this link: https://t.co/LtUJjolILh

Today we took our @NYTimesGuild testimonials to a place where they couldn't be ignored: the walls of the office. They were swiftly removed (within about an hour). Actions speak loud, and it says a lot that a news organization views our words as something they need to take down.

Seed lending libraries. Bike repair. Home delivery. Garden tools on loan. Homework help. Vinyl records. Senior social club. Recording studios. What do all these things have in common? They’re available at public libraries. Books too. Take a look.

I'm thrilled NYT is so financially healthy it can do $400 MILLION in stock buybacks I'm horrified it's doing that while continuing a 2-year fight w/ @NYTimesGuild over our demand for fair raises (we've had none since 2020) & a living wage for all workers https://t.co/g1KgFmJCuR

Today’s @nytimes earnings report is a testament to the great work of our members — work done without a contract for nearly two years. How much longer will the company prioritize its investors over of its employees?
