NYT journalists, workers on 24-hour strike for 'better newsroom'

Hundreds of journalists and other employees at The New York Times have begun a 24-hour walkout, the first strike of its kind at the newspaper in more than 40 years.

Newsroom employees and other members of The NewsGuild of New York – the union for news professionals in the United States’ media capital – said they were fed up with bargaining that has dragged on since their last contract expired in March 2021.

The union announced last week that more than 1,100 employees would stage a 24-hour work stoppage starting at 12:01am on Thursday [05:01 GMT] unless the two sides reach a contract deal.
