New York Times Co. technology workers went on a half-day strike Monday afternoon, accusing the media company of trying to unilaterally force them back to the office without negotiating in good faith.
The employees, who include software engineers and product managers, voted 404-to-88 last year to unionize with the NewsGuild, extending a wider wave of organizing in US technology and media businesses.
