Over a thousand NY Times employees refuse to return to the office three days a week

Almost 1,300 employees of the New York Times are refusing to come back to the office, even though the paper is only asking them to be there three days a week.

You might think this is all about COVID, but it’s actually about money. Members of the union that represents journalists and photographers want higher pay.

One complaint is that it’s just too expensive to come to work in the city.

From the New York Post:

The New York Times expects employees to start returning to the office three days a week starting this week — but more than 1,300 journalists are saying hell no, they won’t go.

It’s just the latest blow in the increasingly bitter contract dispute between the News Guild journalists union — which includes reporters and photographers, as well as some editors and business-side employees — and upper management, over wages.

As of Monday, 1,316 Times workers had signed a pledge not to return to the office. This includes 879 members of the News Guild, but also members of the Times Tech Guild and the union for Wirecutter, the paper’s product-recommendation spinoff.

“People are livid,” Tom Coffey told The Post. A 25-year veteran editor at the NYT, he works on the news desk and serves on the union’s Contract Action Committee.

He added that being forced to return to the office during a period of high inflation means workers will have to spend more money on gas, mass transit, clothing and lunches, despite the lack of salary increases.

So, inflation is a real problem now? Fascinating.

Should they just be fired?

What ususally happens to people who refuse to show up for work?
