ALT A crossword format shows NYTIMES intersecting with UNION and WALKS. The clues say "Company whose workers are asking for a fair contract" Answer: NYTIMES; "Journalists, designers, security guards, news assistants and more make this" Answer: UNION; and "What the union does if the NYTimes doesn't settle the contract by December 8" Answer: WALKS. The New York Times Guild logo is on the image.
ALT “As the union representatives for nearly 200 employees at Bustle Digital Group, the BDG Bargaining Committee is very disappointed in BDG’s decision to eliminate the roles of 21 of our colleagues, all of whom were working within the company’s part-time writer model. “While we’re glad that some part-time writers will be joining the company as full-time employees, the layoffs underscore our need for a fair union contract, with protections for severance and just cause. In our two years at the bargaining table, the union has advocated for people to receive higher wages and better benefits in the positions they occupy, and we will continue to do so. “We urge BDG to bargain in good faith over these layoffs, and to close our union contract with labor conditions that meet the industry standard for both full- and part-time workers, with liveable wages and complete benefits packages.”
