NewsGuild battles New York Times over hybrid work, ‘wrongly excluding jobs’ from union and health fund
Fox ^ | 2-11-26 | Brian Flood

Posted on 02/13/2026 5:20:48 AM PST by dynachrome

The Times Guild Bargaining Committee sent staffers a newsletter on Tuesday detailing the latest labor negotiations. The Guild said it made a "big push to end the two-tier system The New York Times created and perpetuates by wrongly excluding jobs and workers from the Times Guild" and received a revised proposal from the company to end all hybrid work guarantees on March 1, 2027.

"At that point, they would have the right to require us to work in the office five days a week and to eliminate our contractually guaranteed three weeks of remote work per year. As we saw this fall: If the company can reduce our guaranteed remote-work days, they will. But when asked for data on how in-office work makes our news product, advertising and business operations better, the management side of the table was silent," the Guild wrote in the email obtained by Fox News Digital.

“We represent the Lollipop Guild...” while the little-people kick dirt on you.

Best of luck to the NYT, though it sounds like one caveman arguing with another.

When reading the enemedia, it pays to check out the resume/s of the author/s.

The backgrounds, especially these days, make interesting reading.

LOL. The hypocrisy drips off of these demands. This “guild” represents reporters and other white-collar workers. They are objecting to the elimination of remote work, which creates a two-tiered system where blue-collar workers must come in but white-collar workers can work from home. Isn’t this exactly the type of economic elitism that these same Times reporters rail against in their articles on other parts of the US economy??? Perhaps not remote work but they are so quick to find rich management screwing the working man. But hey, if it means they have to get their asses into the office? Screw the working man.

It is time for the New York Times workers to unite in a massive strike to cripple the capitalist pigs once and for all.

Lol.

Sounds like they're talking about vacation time, doesn't it?

They can join all of the Washington Compost former employees looking for a job.
