Union accuses New York Times of unfair labor practices
The New York division of the largest union for news professionals is accusing The New York Times of unfair labor practices by forbidding workers from showing support for unionizing.
The NewsGuild of New York announced in a press release Tuesday that it had filed an an Unfair Labor Practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board, alleging that the Times' management has participated in "union busting actions," including a "coordinated" campaign against roughly 650 tech workers who have formed their own union.
The tech workers announced in April that they had requested union recognition from the Times, after which the Times said it would not voluntarily recognize the group, telling members to put it through a formal vote to the labor relations board.
Now, the NewsGuild of New York, which represents an additional 1,300 editorial and business employees at the Times, said that the Times has promoted a union busting campaign, citing that employees "who work with interns have been told they cannot show public support for the union."
