NY Times Election Needle Uncertain Amid Tech Worker Strike

Originally Published 1 year ago — by USA TODAY

The New York Times' election "Needle," a tool that estimates election outcomes, may not be available on Election Night due to a strike by the Times Tech Guild, which includes over 700 tech employees. The guild is striking for a fair contract, including demands for a "just cause" termination provision, pay increases, and remote work policies. If the strike continues, the Times plans to provide periodic updates through its live blog. The guild has been negotiating since March 2022, and the strike highlights ongoing labor disputes within the organization.
