Sometimes all you need is a bit of change in your environment.

We are setting a precedent for tech workers across the country. Every tech worker deserves a union – now more than ever.

I’ve spent the last few years focused on experimentation ecosystems, data and platform tooling but I’m starting to hone back into UI and Front End development.

It’s really nice to have a space in bsky that feels more like twitter from 16 years ago and less like 4chan.

Developers, do you want to verify yourself here but don't have a personal domain? You can use your GitHub account! πŸ¦‹πŸ±

Message stating that we are ending our ULP strikes and thanks folks for supporting our boycotts of Games and Cooking.

We will show up to work but not be meek or silent. We will do our work and still make our voices heard. We won't stop until we get a fair contract.

Thank you to each and every one of you who stood in solidarity with the NYT Tech Guild.

Five Times Tech Guild members from Seattle stand in a park area surrounded by deciduous trees that have turned red and orange for the fall. One member is standing on a concrete bench above the other four. Members are wearing a red Times Tech Guild T-shirt, a striped hoodie, a gray Guild T-shirt, a red T-shirt with Disney cartoon character Stitch and the word β€œHANGRY” on it; and a red long sleeve shirt. Two are wearing NYT baseball caps.

A group photo of six Times Tech Guild workers meeting up in Raleigh, North Carolina. All six workers are smiling and raising their right fists in solidarity. They’re wearing a variety of apparel, including a black shirt, red shirt, gray top with red sweater, red and black checkered button-down, a clay colored T-shirt, and a red Times Tech Guild T-shirt.

Dozens of workers holding protest signs and noise-making objects such as cowbells can be seen walking in a circle in front of the building entrance, which features a metal NYT wordmark above the doors.

A group photo of eight Times Tech Guild workers meeting up inside over in Portland, Oregon. Each member is holding a color flyer with bright read header that reads, β€œMeet the union busters of the New York Times”. Members are wearing coats, red pants, red dresses, red flannel button-down shirts, red T-shirts, red jackets, and a red sweatshirt.

We are a largely remote workforce, with members across the country. As NYC’s picket line draws hundreds, our remote workers are holding their own events in places like Portland, Raleigh, Chicago and (tomorrow) San Francisco…

The New York Times’ Worst Nightmare Is Happening Now They’re the country’s largest tech workers union for its most influential newspaper. And now, just in time for Election Day, they’re on strike.
