This is a sad day for @[email protected]. This company pledged $150 million in stock buybacks this year, but it’s offering staff what amounts to a pay cut, during record inflation in the most expensive city in the world. I love the Times and wish it loved me back.

It’s devastating to walk off a job you love, but today I’m striking with 1150 workers across the Times who I’m proud to call my colleagues. Here’s how you can support our fight for a fair contract and a more equitable newsroom: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-the-new-york-times-give-your-employees-the-contract-they-deserve

Tell the New York Times: Give Your Employees the Contract They Deserve!

Over 1000 employees at the New York Times have pledged to walk out on December 8 if management does not bargain in good faith to reach a complete and equitable contract by then. Company executives like Meredith Kopit Levien and A.G. Sulzberger and management's lawyers have continued to put forward proposals that do not recognize the value of Times employees. The work of the people who deliver groundbreaking journalism and keep the newsroom running every day. Workers at the New York Times 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 your intent to support their walk out on December 8 by not reading The Times that day, or using its other products, which all would not exist without the labor of these workers.
