The 600-member Times Tech Guild will be the largest union of tech workers with bargaining rights in the country, per the NewsGuild.It becomes the third major union to form among NYT workers, in addition to its editorial workers union and a union representing Wirecutter, The Times' consumer reviews website.: Members of the Guild certified their union via a 404-88 vote with the National Labor Relations Board.
“Today’s win is grounded in a history of raising the industry bar at the Times," said Susan DeCarava, president of The NewsGuild of New York.“We continue to believe this election process was critical so our colleagues could learn more about the union, hear both sides of the argument and, ultimately, make an informed decision."
"Now that our colleagues have made their voices heard through a formal election, we look forward to working cooperatively with the Guild to negotiate in good faith, establishing a contract for the new unit and continuing to support our talented technology and digital staff.”
