Tech workers from the New York Times have gone on strike ahead of the presidential election, protesting stalled contract negotiations and alleged unfair labor practices. The strike involves over 600 staff responsible for the tech infrastructure supporting the Times' election coverage. With the union calling for reader support in honoring a digital picket line, concerns grow about the potential impact on election-related reporting. The Times has expressed disappointment at the timing of the strike, emphasizing their commitment to resolving the matter and ensuring coverage continuity.
