The NYT Tech Guild’s election week strike is over


You’ll no longer cross the digital picket line by playing Wordle.

TheNew York Times’ tech employees, who are behind Wordle and Connections among other games and features, will go back to work on Tuesday following a weeklong strike. The Tech Guild says its work stoppage impacted the NYT ’s election coverage in a few ways: the outlet didn’t display state-level or non-presidential needles, for instance, while its app and website “were slow to load.” Last week, Business Insider reported that around 100 tech workers crossed the picket line on Election Day. “We look forward to continuing to work with Tech Guild to reach a fair contract that takes into account that they are already among the highest paid individual contributors in the Company and journalism is our top priority,” NYT spokesperson Danielle Rhoades Ha said in an emailed statement to The Verge.
