Over 1,300 NY Times Journos Pledge to Not Return to the Office

In a move that ideally will lead to them all quitting, over 1,300 New York Times employees have signed a pledge not to return in-office to the alleged paper of record.

According to the NY Post:

 

The New York Times expects employees to start returning to the office three days a week starting this week — but more than 1,300 journalists are saying hell no, they won’t go.

It’s just the latest blow in the increasingly bitter contract dispute between the News Guild journalists union — which includes reporters and photographers, as well as some editors and business-side employees — and upper management, over wages.

“People are livid,” Tom Coffey told The Post. A 25-year veteran editor at the NYT, he works on the news desk and serves on the union’s Contract Action Committee. He added that being forced to return to the office during a period of high inflation means workers will have to spend more money on gas, mass transit, clothing and lunches, despite the lack of salary increases.

As Greg Gutfeld observed on his Fox News show last night, the „high inflation“ excuse couldn’t be more ironic, because the same journalists complaining about it will downplay it when it comes to Biden’s culpability. 

In an attempt to sweeten the deal in getting employees back to the office, the New York Times has offered them branded lunch boxes. Unsurprisingly, that didn’t do much to move the needle.
