Matt HubbsUnsurprising but still disgusting: after two years of negotiations workers have seen not one penny of wage increase while management has grabbed millions more.

Tell The New York Times: It’s Been Two Years. Give Your Employees the Contract They Deserve!
More than 1,100 employees at The New York Times walked out on Dec. 8 as a part of their collective fight to reach a complete and equitable contract. Three months later, company executives, including C.E.O. Meredith Kopit Levien and Publisher A.G. Sulzberger, are still signing off on proposals that fail to recognize their value as Times employees, even as our work rakes in record profits for the company. These workers deserve equitable wages, company contributions that keep our health fund viable, and respect at work. These workers deliver groundbreaking journalism and keep The New York Times running every day. Yet have gone two years without a contract, all while company executives and shareholders (to the tune of over $400 million authorized for stock buybacks!) continue to be rewarded. Meredith Kopit Levien’s total compensation in 2022 was $7.6 million, up from $5.8 million in 2021 and $4.4 million in 2020. A.G. Sulzerberger’s was $3.8 million, up from $3.6 million in 2021 and $2.4 million in 2020. It’s past time that worker, too, share in the success that we created. NYT employees are asking subscribers, loyal readers, union supporters, media workers and workers of different trades to support them by sending a letter to Meredith Kopit Levien and A.G. Sulzberger, notifying them of our intent to support them in our fight for a fair contract. Enough is enough — support NYT workers as they fight for a fair contract and a more equitable newsroom! P.S. After you send your letter, let them know by tweeting your support and tagging @NYTimesGuild!

Join Members Of The NewsGuild of New York Organizing For Trans Rights
February 17, 2023 We, members of the NewsGuild of New York, are coming together to address critical issues affecting trans, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming workers in our newsrooms. We are concerned about bias in reporting on trans issues; inconsistent standards for reporting on these issues; and a lack of transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming editorial staff. We are uniting to confront these issues across our newsrooms, including at The New York Times. Many of us—along with many members of the public—have observed the devastating influence of the anti-factual, biased coverage of transgender life from leading media organizations. Our goals as a group include building and sharing ethical reporting standards around trans issues, drawing on the work of the Trans Journalists Association; developing strong contract language that ensures trans, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming journalists are considered for staff positions and are supported in those jobs; and establishing these supports not only in editorial roles, but across newsrooms and media organizations, including for tech workers and in publishing. We are committed to working together as Guild members to ensure that our newsrooms are safe and equitable places for trans, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming people to work, and that the work we produce informs readers, viewers and listeners clearly, factually and humanely. We also emphasize that when we come together as Guild colleagues to engage in this work, it is concerted activity protected by the National Labor Relations Board. We invite you to sign up below to join us at our next meeting to further this conversation.
