We are the software engineers, designers, data analysts & scientists, product managers and project managers who build the digital products @ NYTimes. We won our union in March 2022 and we're bargaining our first contract!
Yesterday we were able to join in the NYC Labor Day Rally and stand in solidarity with our organizing community. These days can feel uncertain and difficult given the labor environment we’re in, but it’s bolstering to remember that we can handle whatever is thrown our way, and that we’re never alone

blizzard workers had to fight tooth and nail for years, but they finally did it: they secured a union contract not just for one team, but for all unionized units--warcraft, overwatch, diablo, and more
![“We really started mobilizing as one Blizzard unit in [the] last couple of months, and I think that really helped put the pressure on,” Paul Cox, senior game designer on World of Warcraft, told Aftermath.
"I feel like the company dragged its feet and did a lot of posturing and wasting time until the very, very last moment."
Prior to spring of this year, the WoW team, which unionized in 2024, had gotten the lion's share of bargaining time. Other units found themselves stuck in the mud. Higher-ups were effectively stalling the whole process—unfortunately nothing new for unionized workers under Microsoft’s umbrella.
"For this whole year of bargaining on the Diablo side—and I imagine on the rest of the units as well—we received so few [bargaining] dates, but we kind of had the understanding that whatever WoW was able to win would at least influence and set the floor for the rest of our units,” Diablo senior environment artist Mahreen Fatima told Aftermath. “We adopted this messaging about how WoW's wins are our wins, so we should be out there mobilizing with them. But truly, I feel like the company dragged its feet and did a lot of posturing and wasting time until the very, very last moment this last month to finally be able to say, 'OK, yes, we are willing to extend this contract to everyone.' We really did not have any indication that we could get this done until last month."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreih6u6gzajbd63dovnmlnc43z5g6i35d3n735rrdkopipyjopkl72e)

We agree with New York Times Publisher A.G. Sulzberger - the work we create at The New York Times is uniquely human, and needs to be protected! That’s why we’re taking legal action against The Times to be more transparent about how AI is being applied so we can protect our members.

Engineers being expected to do on-call shifts for no additional compensation is one of the clearest arguments for “just because you’re highly-paid doesn’t mean you don’t need a union”
Many of our members are “always on-call,” and can be paged day or night, year-round, for technical emergencies. Despite this, management argued that they did not qualify for the on-call pay protected by our contract.

We will not sit passively as new technology is used to monitor and surveil us without our consent. This is why we have a contract; this is why we fight.
TAKING LEGAL ACTION: The @nytguildtech.bsky.social is using AI technology to monitor and surveil the performance of our @nytguildtech.bsky.social members in violation of their collective bargaining agreement. More here...

New technology doesn’t mean companies like @nytimes.com can ignore our collective bargaining agreements.
Exclusive: Unionized tech workers at the New York Times have filed grievances accusing management of using AI-powered performance tools to track and discipline staff.
The Tech Guild says recent disciplinary notices appear to be generated using one of the tools.

Our CEO recently shared that working remotely allows her to care for her 85-year-old mother. But for our coworker and fellow unit member, Rich, that’s not an option.
Despite being the primary caretaker for his father, his remote accommodations have been abruptly rejected. His appeal? Denied.

The Venetoulis Institute for Local Journalism (@thebaltimorebanner.com) has begun its ownership of the @post-gazette.com by cutting at least 40% of staff, and 80% of former strikers.
It is sad, vindictive, and does not bode well for what we’ve fought and hoped for, including the success of the PG.
