Nov 11 (Reuters) - The New York Times Tech Guild
is ending a week-long strike that started one day before the
U.S. presidential election and will return to work on Tuesday,
it said in a post on X on Monday.
More than 600 tech workers of NYT, including software
engineers, designers and product managers, had gone on a strike
amid stalled contract negotiations over pay and job security,
planning daily protests during the crucial election day period.
Negotiations between the guild and the publisher have not
progressed since the strike began, the spokesperson for the New
York Times ( NYT ) said in an email response.
"We look forward to continuing to work with Tech Guild to
reach a fair contract that takes into account that they are
already among the highest paid individual contributors in the
company," the spokesperson said.
The Tech Guild has been in contract negotiations with NYT
for more than two years.
"We clearly demonstrated how valuable our work is to The New
York Times ( NYT ), especially on election night, and showed that we
have the full support of subscribers and allies across the
country going forward," said Kathy Zhang, Tech Guild unit chair.
