New York Times Journalists Prepare For 24-Hour Strike As Union And Management Fail To Reach Agreement
08.12.2022 - 06:55 / deadline.com
More than 1,100 employees of The New York Times are poised to walk out for a one-day strike starting just after midnight on Thursday, after their union and the Times management failed to reach an agreement.
“Today we were ready to work for as long as it took to reach a fair deal, but management walked away from the table with five hours to go,” the union announced on Wednesday evening. “It’s official: @NYTimesGuild members are walking out for 24 hours on Thursday. We know what we’re worth.”
The last contract expired in March, 2021, and the NewsGuild contends that Times management has been slow to negotiate. In dispute are the size of pay increases, retirement benefits and mandatory return-to-office policies, the union said.
The walkout would be the first such work stopping action in more than 40 years. The union said that there was a lunchtime walkout in 2017 to halt potential layoffs.
Danielle Rhoades-Ha, spokesperson for the Times, said, “While we were still in negotiations and ready to continue, we received notification from more than 100 NewsGuild members in the newsroom confirming that the strike would proceed. It is disappointing that they are taking such an extreme action when we are not at an impasse.”
According to the Associated Press, Deputy Managing Editor Cliff Levy sent a memo to staffers on Tuesday insisting that efforts were underway by the company to make progress. He said that the company had offered to raise wages by 5.5% when the contract is ratified, followed by 3% increases in 2023 and 2024.
Rhoades-Ha said that though progress has been made in negotiations, “we still have much more work to do when we return to the bargaining table.” She said that NewsGuild’s proposal would add more than $100

For over a decade, there’s been an exhausting attempt to remake John Carpenter‘s 1981 dystopian flick “Escape From New York,” which had Kurt Russell flexing his action chops for the first time. However, the project has seen its fair share of developmental hiccups over the years, with it now attached to 20th Century Studios instead of New Line Cinema.

Radio 2 switches to censored version of Fairytale Of New York this Christmas
BBC Radio 2 has this year, for the first time, joined the group of radio stations that have decided to play an edited version of ‘Fairytale Of New York’, the popular festive classic from The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl.There has been increasing controversy around the inclusion of the word ‘faggot’ in the lyrics of the song in recent years.On one side, there are people who think that a homophobic slur such as that shouldn’t really be heard on daytime radio in this day and age – regardless of whether or not it’s delivered as the words of an unsympathetic character within the context of the song.On the other side, there are those who think it’s been in the song for years now and people are just being overly sensitive – given that it’s delivered as the words of an unsympathetic character within the context of the song.Anyway, we have this conversation every year, even though everyone involved seems to have agreed that the song should be edited and the original should not be played on the radio anymore. Last year people got upset because Warner Music created a new radio edit, which replaced the line “you cheap lousy faggot” with “you’re cheap and you’re haggard”.The new line was lifted from a live performance by Kirsty MacColl, who herself had begun censoring the song before her death in 2000.
