Company’s chief executive warned a union would be ‘an unproven experiment with permanent consequences’
Internal documents and Slack messages obtained by the Guardian reveal senior executives at the
New York Times are heavily leaning on workers to vote no in a union
election for more than 600 tech employees.
Meredith Kopit Levien, the chief executive of the New York Times Company, wrote a memo on 19 January circulated to staff titled “Why a Tech Union Isn’t Right for Us” on the tech workers’ union election at XFun, the group within the New York Times responsible for product development operations.
