Thomson Reuters Corp. journalists in the US have authorized their union to call a strike against the media company, which they say has slow-walked negotiations for higher pay and other benefits.

The vote does not guarantee a work stoppage at the 171-year-old newswire, but allows the union’s bargaining committee to announce a strike if progress isn’t made in contract talks, which resume Nov. 14.
