A 24-hour strike at The New York Times, a historic demonstration in which more than 1,100 employees are expected to participate, began Thursday at midnight, after management and the union representing staffers failed to reach an agreement for a new contract after more than a year and a half of negotiating.
Unionization hurts the NYTs owners and further adds to the union moment of the journalism industry.
Every moment they’re striking is also time they’re not spending bashing unions or publishing unhinged transphobic op-eds.
I hate the NYT, but unionization is a net win. @TheFreshestHell also pointed out the onion went much further left after they properly unionized. Not holding my breadth on that last bit, but critical support is warranted.
