NY Times union plans 1,000+ employee walkout
https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/ny-times-union-plans-1000-employee-walkout
More than 1,000 unionized employees are threatening to walk out of the publication if it does not agree to their demands in contract negotiations by next Thursday.
"After 20 months of negotiations, enough is enough: Today, more than 1,000 [NYT Union] members pledged to walk out if [the paper] does not agree to a complete and fair contract by Dec. 8," the publication's union tweeted on Friday.
A letter the NYT NewsGuild sent to the outlet demanded wages to match inflation and improvements to existing health insurance and retirement benefits.
"We will walk out and stop work for 24 hours, on Thursday, Dec. 8, if we do not have a deal for a complete and equitable contract by then," they threatened in a letter that Reuters obtained. 1,036 members of the union signed the letter.
A walkout at the New York Times. That should be interesting.

I'm no labor expert, but I'd posit that the 1,000 employees threatening to strike are the blue collar guys who actually operate the presses and get the hard copy newspaper out the door.
In no way does that threatened strike affect the suits. They'll shift their eggs from hard copy to online, tighten their belts for a day, then it's business as usual.
IOW, a big f'n nothingburger -- even if people actually buy that rag any more.

Most newspapers have agreements with their rivals to print a slighly reduced version during this sort of things.
So the less of the old gray whore is just fewer lies in print.

Is it wrong for me to hope that BOTH SIDES destroy each other???

When I saw the thread title, I wondered if employees were threatening to walk out over the NYT not being far-left enough, or some such nonsense.

If the New Your Times shuts down will anyone other than journalists realize?

I'm sure the DNC will notice if one of their propaganda orgs isn't in line to fellate them with the rest.
