NYT Tech Workers Strike Amid Election Day Uncertainty

The New York Times may not be able to provide its live election night "Needle" forecast due to a strike by its technology staff, who manage the necessary computer systems. The Tech Guild, representing over 600 employees, is striking for contract terms including job security and pay equity. While the Needle might not be available, the Times plans to update its live blog with election forecasts. The Needle, introduced in 2016, has become a key feature of the Times's election coverage.
