CWA Journalists Open Bargaining at the N.Y. Times With Focus on AI Protections

Earlier this week, CWA-represented journalists and staffers kicked off bargaining at the New York Times. Decked in red, New York Times Guild members, represented by TNG-CWA Local 31003, entered into bargaining with five core demands: wage increases, remote work flexibility, protections against the misuse of artificial intelligence, a guarantee that union jobs remain staffed by Guild members, and affordable healthcare.

The Guild represents nearly 1,500 staffers at the Times and their current contract expires on February 26.
