How childish are the so-called journalists at The New York Instances? Properly in response to The New York Put up, over 1,300 New York Instances workers are refusing to return to the workplace and cease taking part in pandemic. Whereas most firms have been again within the workplace for some time now, the pampered workers at The New York Instances will not even return to the workplace three days every week, not even when they obtain a free New York Instances branded lunch field!
As a part of an ongoing contract dispute between the paper and the Information Guild journalists union, “as of Monday, 1,316 Instances staff had signed a pledge to not return to the workplace. This contains 879 members of the Information Guild, but in addition members of the Instances Tech Guild and the union for Wirecutter, the paper’s product-recommendation spinoff,” in response to The Put up.
The paper is even providing to provide their infantile workers lunch bins with The New York Instances brand on them as a return-to-office perk, but they nonetheless weren’t glad. In line with the Put up, “One supply stated that the branded NYT lunch bins didn’t have any sandwiches or different lunch meals inside. ‘They have been empty,’ stated one supply. ‘And the lunch field had no handles’.”
The @nytimes is giving workers branded lunch bins this week as a return-to-office perk. We wish respect and a good contract as a substitute — so I’m working from dwelling this week together with 1,300 of my @NYTimesGuild and @NYTGuildTech colleagues, with assist from @WirecutterUnion.

In line with a spokesperson with the Instances, there aren’t a selected variety of mandated days of in-person work days however added “we proceed to imagine {that a} hybrid work setting most closely fits the New York Instances at this second.”
Along with the spat over returning to work, the Information Guild is at the moment negotiating an eight % pay enhance for its members.
The Put up provides that “along with an 8% elevate, the Information Guild had been demanding a cost-of-living enhance of 5.25% — and insisting that each one staff who can work remotely retain that choice indefinitely, and with no obligatory return to places of work earlier than July 2023. The Put up is informed that the labor union might soften on the cost-of-living hike.”
If The New York Instances had any widespread sense (which they clearly do not), they’d instantly deunionize the paper and fireplace the 1,316 workers who will not come again to work. The pandemic has been over for at the least a yr and a half. Develop up.
