Talks Between New York Times, Union Get Heated

The Newspaper Guild is lashing out at The New York Times, saying the newspaper wants to cut pay and benefits for its unionized edit staffers even as it gushes about the quality of its journalism.
 
Talks have begun to replace the current contract, which expires March 30. According to the Guild, Times management wants to freeze wages, eliminate overtime pay, increase the workweek, and be able to assign employees to work across any of its platforms.
