Quote:The New York Times Company illegally deployed union-busting practices against employees to prevent support for the corporation’s tech union, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) alleges this week.

The media corporation, worth more than $1 billion, was hit with union-busting accusations this week in regards to the New York Times Tech Guild — a group of about 650 Times tech employees who unionized in April 2021 but whom the Times has refused to recognize.

According to Reuters, the NLRB accuses the Times of violating federal labor law when executives told employees in May 2021 that they were not allowed to show support for the Times Tech Guild during a virtual meeting.
