Over 1,100 unionized New York Times staff members intend to embark on a 24-hour strike today. Negotiations between the paper's management and the union have broken down — mainly over pay raises.
Union members, most of whom are journalists, but also ad salespeople, security guards and others, are questioning why they cannot share more concretely in the strong financial runhas enjoyed. In other words: If not during flush times, then when? And they say that drawing out negotiations has not aided them, contending that management only picked up the pace of concessions as the day-long strike neared.
The work stoppage — a way to simultaneously inflict short-term pain and convey solidarity for the proposition of longer-term action — is a measure of the fractious relationship between the paper's greatly expanded newsroom and its management. It is also happening as unions are flexing their muscle at newsrooms as varied as eroded local papers, newer digital sites and public broadcasting outlets.The paper's guild members say they are unified and expect to prevail.
Editors are scrambling to make sure long-held stories are ready for publication. Some are preparing to flex dormant reporting muscles. Others are unlikely to miss a step. But the sheer volume of copy produced by the paper's newsroom each day is unlikely to be matched with more than half of the chairs metaphorically empty.
