On Monday, The Times Tech Guild, which represents more than 600 engineers, data managers, designers, software developers and tech personnel at the paper, announced they had gone on strike after failing to reach a new contract with the New York Times Co. after “multiple rounds of intense bargaining.” The union, affiliated with the NewsGuild of New York, accused the company of unfair labor practices. A company spokesperson said the New York Times Co. was “continuing to work with the Tech Guild to reach a fair contract that takes into account that they are already among the highest-paid individual contributors in the company and journalism is our top priority.”

The union called out the Needle in its post on X Monday announcing the strike — showing the needle all the way to right predicting a “100% chance of a work stoppage”

Is this needle a scab needle?
