The New York Times Tech Guild has gone on strike, affecting over 600 software engineers, product managers, data analysts, and designers. The guild is seeking its first union contract with the company, which includes a "just cause" provision, pay increases, pay equity, and return-to-office policies. This comes just one day before the presidential election, when the Times' backend systems will be under heavy stress. The strike has raised concerns about potential disruptions to the Times' election coverage.
