A 24-hour strike at The New York Times, a historic demonstration in which more than 1,100 employees are expected to participate, began Thursday at midnight, after management and the union representing staffers failed to reach an agreement for a new contract after more than a year and a half of negotiating.
I've got no love for the NYT as an institution but I'd still not shit on workers striking for better conditions. Plus lack of editorial control is a big factor in a lot of news guild agitation. Like most reporters have no say on the the editorial slant of their paper.

Is it really striking for better conditions if they go back in the next day and continue working under the exact same conditions
