Unsurprising but still disgusting: after two years of negotiations workers have seen not one penny of wage increase while management has grabbed millions more.

In lieu of my morning routine of Wordle...
Whether one is Pro or Anti Union, look at both sides of individual union actions.
If workers are asking for something you wouldn't do without in your own employment, then supporting them makes sense. If the negotiations are for trivial/over the top items, then perhaps supporting the action makes less sense.
#NYT and #NewsGuild, please get things together so I can get back to Wordle in the morning.

#NewsGuild 24 hour strike
please #boycott #NewYorkTimes all day December 8th, 2022!
“We’re asking readers to not engage in any #NYTimes platforms tomorrow and stand with us on the digital picket line! Read local news. Listen to public radio. Pull out a cookbook. Break your #Wordle streak.”
! Please boost!

On Thursday, New York Times journalists are walking out to fight for a fair contract. If you’ve never been on strike, this might sound like a minor thing. It is not. They’re brave to do this, and I, for one, will be supporting them however I can all the way. #unions #workersright #newsguild
