Hundreds of tech workers for The New York Times are on strike on Election Day after walking off their jobs on Monday. The New York Times Tech Guild has been threatening a strike if it did not have a new contract by Election Day, putting at risk the paper’s noted election coverage tools, such as its electoral map and its election needle. “We are back out on the picket line today. We know this is a hard day to be on strike for our members but we want to be clear: We are here because of the decisions of @NYTimes management,” the guild said in a social media post on Tuesday morning. ELECTION DAY STRIKE: We are back out on the picket line today. We know this is a hard day to be on strike for our members but we want to be clear: We are here because of the decisions of @NYTimes management. pic.twitter.com/K3ceJn4dHa — New York Times Tech Guild (@NYTGuildTech) November 5, 2024 The guild represents more than 600 tech workers at The Times who work on games such as Wordle and The Crossword, as well as monitor many of the news organization’s audio options for its audience. It also supports the Times’ Cooking app. “While we respect the union’s right to engage in protected actions, we’re disappointed that colleagues would strike at this time, which is both unnecessary and at odds with our mission,” Times spokeswoman Danielle Rhoades Ha said, according to The Washington Post. Perhaps most immediately important, the strike risks the functionality of the Times’ election tools on the site’s busiest day of the year. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “It’s our peak traffic, when we see the most people coming to The New York Times is during a presidential election, so that’s why months ago we gave management a deadline saying we wanted a contract by the election or we’re going on strike,” Times software engineer Sarah Duncan told Fox News. “They wouldn’t give us what we were demanding, so we’ve already made enough compromises. We’re done compromising, so we’re out here until we get a fair contract.” The Times tech union is negotiating a contract for the first time since it was formed in 2022. Union leadership has three central demands that company executives have not met. First, the union wants just-cause job protections that ensure its members cannot be fired without reason. The two sides have yet to reach an agreement on what that process looks like, though Times management has said it supports the principle. Second, the union seeks contractual assurances that the Times will not change its current hybrid work policies that allow significant time outside the office. Third, the union demands that Times leadership fix pay equity and pay fairness shortcomings across the company, as revealed in a union study of pay disparities for women and minorities.

Travis Kelce is the Swifiest Swifie around. There’s no doubt he loves Taylor Swift and her incredibly catchy music. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end made it to Lucas Oil Stadium on November 2nd not to take on the Indianapolis Colts but to watch his girlfriend play to a sold-out crowd during the last United States stop of the Eras Tour. Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift aren’t shy about their love story, and it seems their family and friends are obsessed. @bertsbeess just taylor and travis being adorable #taylorswift #traviskelce #indynight2 #theerastour #taylortravis #sohighschool ♬ original sound – halle Travis Kelce Seems To Be Tight With Taylor Swift’s Mom, Andrea Video from the Eras Tour performance in Indy shows Travis and Andrea dancing along while Taylor clearly seems to be looking right at her man. Fans caught on very quickly and loved it. This fan hopes Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are together forever, “I am a Taylor Swift fan, not a huge Swiftie, but I absolutely love their love! They so deserve it!!! And I am a true Colts fan, but I am slowly loving Travis!!!” This fan agreed, “him doing the dance, and his smile! the way you KNOW she was singing straight to him.” “No one deserves love more than Tay. Getting to see her heal during Eras has been amazing to watch,” another person wrote. This fan loves the pair, too. “Him being genuinely so happy to be there, so happy to see her and just so comfortable in her world.” Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift reportedly met during the Eras Tour when Travis attended one of her shows in Kansas City hoping to meet Taylor. Legend has it the footballer shared friendship bracelets with fans and even tried to pass Tay his number on a bracelet, but it didn’t work. He shared the story on New Heights, the podcast he shares with his brother, Jason. “I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Travis Kelce told Jason. “So I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her. If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets, and I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it…. She doesn’t meet anybody—or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personal.” My how things have changed in a year. Now, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are inseparable, and it seems they make each other’s wildest dreams come true. This story’s featured image is by XNY/Star Max/GC Images via Getty.
