NYT Tech Guild Ends Strike

(Reuters) – The New York Times (NYSE:NYT) Tech Guild is concluding a week-long strike that commenced a day before the U.S. presidential election, preparing to return to work on Tuesday, as announced in a post on X on Monday.

More than 600 tech workers from NYT, including software engineers, designers, and product managers, initiated the strike due to stalled contract negotiations focused on pay and job security, organizing daily protests during the critical election period.

According to a spokesperson for the New York Times, negotiations between the guild and the publisher have not advanced since the strike's onset. "We look forward to continuing to work with Tech Guild to reach a fair contract that accounts for their status as some of the highest-paid individual contributors in the company," the spokesperson remarked.

The Tech Guild has been in negotiations with NYT for over two years.

Kathy Zhang, Tech Guild unit chair, commented, "We clearly demonstrated how valuable our work is to The New York Times, especially on election night, and showed that we have the full support of subscribers and allies across the country going forward."
