@eaton @zachleat CROSSOVER EVENT

If you’re looking for a way to support the union? They’ve established a virtual picket line, and are asking the rest of us to not cross it:

“The striking employees will picket in front of the newspaper’s Times Square office from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily and are asking readers to honor the Tech Guild’s digital picket line by not accessing Times games or cooking apps.”

The New York Times Tech Guild is officially on strike: https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/2024/11/04/new-york-times-tech-strike-walkout/
