Union Stages Protest In Newsroom Revolt At Woke New York Times

Looks like even the New York Times isn't woke enough!

  • Members of the New York Times Guild Union protested inside the paper’s newsroom this week, continuing a years-long contract dispute.
  • In footage captured by reporter Liam Stack, union members can be seen inside the newsroom demanding a new contract. It was noted that union members tried stopping by the offices of Times publisher, A.G. Sulzberger, and its president and CEO, Meredith Kopit Levien, but neither were in in the office.
  • “Must be nice to work from home!” one person the crowd yelled. Return to office orders are one of a number of things in dispute between the 1000-plus employees the union represents and the company itself.
  • In the video, the crowd chants “two years” at one point and demands a new contract “now” multiple times.
