New York Times Tech Workers End Strike ‘Without Deal, Cite Impact Their Absence Had On Election Night’ - Group Of 600 Software Developers & Data Analysts ‘Promise They Will Move The Fight Inside’

Sharon Knolle at The Wrap reports The New York Times Tech Guild have ended their Strike despite not reaching an improved contract deal with the paper, but promised to “move the fight inside” after their absence was felt on Election Night with numerous glitches.  A statement released by The Guild, which represents more than 600 Software Developers and Data Analysts at the paper, called the Strike “successful,” citing that their walkout meant The Times’ election needle was not live on Election Night, Apps were slow to load and e-mails contained “hundreds of thousands of broken links.”  Kathy Zhang, Tech Guild Union Chair and Senior Analytics Manager at The Times, wrote in the statement that the Election Week Strike “showed that we have the full support of subscribers and allies across the country going forward.”
