After months of unlawful union-busting tactics by management of the New York Times, members of NYT Guild Tech staged a virtual walkout on Wednesday. Workers said they were protesting management’s continued unfair labor practices that seek to divide their union and prevent hundreds of workers from voting in an upcoming National Labor Relations Board vote on union representation.
While the NewsGuild of New York responded to management’s attempts at union-busting by filing three Unfair Labor Practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board, these battles aren’t won at the NLRB or in court, said Susan DeCarava, president of the NewsGuild of New York. “They’re fought and won where we work.”
