The New York Times removed details about union work from its staff's bios. download the app Email address Sign up By clicking “Sign Up”, you accept our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy . AdvertisementSome staffers at The New York Times say the company removed some mentions of their union work from their public-facing staff biographies. It comes after the Times asked its reporters to tell the audience a little more about themselves — and then snatched the metaphorical mic away when reporters used the opportunity to detail their union work, according to reports.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Times plans to lay off 94 newsroom employees — one-fourth of its newsroom staff — starting Tuesday, a number that is substantial but less than feared, the head of the journalists union said. The announcement comes after the LA Times Guild walked off the job last Friday to protest the imminent layoffs, the first newsroom union work stoppage in the newspaper’s 143-year history. Matt Pearce, president of the Media Guild of the West, which encompasses the Times' union, called it a “dark day.” He said the layoffs represent one-fourth of the Times Guild's entire membership. “Many departments and clusters across the newsroom will be heavily hit,” Pearce said in a statement Tuesday. Pearce said the union's bargaining committee would meet with Times management on Wednesday to start discussions about the layoffs as set out by the contract.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Guild members of the Los Angeles Times walked off the job Friday to protest what it says are imminent layoffs, the first newsroom union work stoppage in the newspaper's 143-year history. The guild said members would also protest in other cities.

At Community Solutions, the tensions began after the group was awarded a $100 million grant from the MacArthur Foundation. When they informed management of their decision, workers said they were surprised when Community Solutions hired a powerful law firm, Proskauer, to negotiate a contract. (The firm is also representing The New York Times in current contract negotiations with the The New York Times Guild.) “This was a value statement, based on our lived experiences,” he said. The clause that management would like to use, she continued, “includes strong anti-discrimination language that is nearly identical to other collective bargaining agreements negotiated by the same union.”
Elon Musk joked that the New York Times union strike on Thursday is "Woke v Woke." New York Times staffers are staging a 24-hour walkout to protest over pay. The contract between the Times and the Times' Guild expired in March 2021 and over 40 bargaining sessions have been held since, the Times reported. Musk released his "Twitter Files" on Friday which showed internal communications between the 2020 Biden presidential campaign and Twitter executives. Musk responded: "That is because The New York Times has become, for all intents and purposes, an unregistered lobbying firm for far left politicians."
New York Times staffers walked off the job on Thursday for one day. Union staffers are in heated contract negotiations with the paper over issues like pay. More than 1,100 union members had pledged to stop working at midnight on December 8 if an agreement had not been reached over a new union contract, with the stoppage planned for 24 hours. That is not where we are today," New York Times executive editor Joe Kahn wrote in a memo to staff, according to an unbylined Times story about the one-day strike beginning. Union members plan to picket outside of the New York Times headquarters on Thursday.
loadingThe NYTimes NewsGuild last week had pledged to walk out on Dec. 8 if a contract was not reached by then. The union said the New York Times during a meeting earlier in the day refused to meet for additional negotiating sessions to resolve the contract dispute by Thursday. The New York Times in an emailed statement to Reuters said the union's claims were inaccurate and negotiations were ongoing. The union said that the walkout would be the first full-day work stoppage at the New York Times since the late 1970s. Tech employees of the Times voted last March to unionize and have been trying separately to negotiate their first contract.
The Times' news division has also expanded by hundreds in recent years and now employs about 1,700 journalists. The public data show how much the media company offered to pay foreign staffers it sought to hire in the US for jobs including editorial, data, engineering, and business-side positions. Editorial and some business employees at the Times are unionized, setting salary ranges for some positions at the company. Based on the data, the Times offered from late 2019 through the middle of 2022 annual base salaries ranging from $53,392 to $306,000 for various roles. In cases where the company submitted multiple applications for a particular job, such as a software engineer, we included the range of those wage rates.

Will reporters at The New York Times really go on strike? The idea, unthinkable just a few months ago, is now on the lips of New York Times Guild members as the union's contract negotiations with management heat up.

New York Times reporters have walked off the job before, like as part of a 1962-1963 citywide newspaper strike. The union at Wirecutter, the reviews site owned by the New York Times, walked off the job during the Black Friday shopping period last year, for instance. But Robles said union members are upset that the Times' strong business footing has not translated into better pay.
