Hundreds of journalists and other employees at The New York Times on Thursday began a 24-hour walkout, the first major strike at the newspaper in more than 40 years.
Fed up with bargaining that has dragged on since their last contract expired in March 2021, newsroom staffers who are part of The NewsGuild of New York began a 24-hour work stoppage at 12.01am on Thursday.
The NewsGuild tweeted that workers “are now officially on work stoppage, the first of this scale at the company in four 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,” it said.
