More than 1,000 US daily New York Times employees went on a 24-hour strike from midnight on Thursday. Their union said it was the company’s biggest strike in more than 40 years.
NewsGuild, the union representing the striking employees, said the management’s refusal to raise wages in line with rising inflation was the main reason for the strike.
More than 1,100 New York Times employees have officially stopped working, which is the first such move at the company in four decades, the union tweeted on Thursday morning.
New York Times spokesman Danielle Rhoades Ha told US media in a statement that negotiations are not over and that it is disappointing that employees are taking such extreme action despite no stalemate.
The union said the union members will do whatever it takes to have a better newsroom.
