On Tuesday afternoon, the indefinite strike launched the day before by the daily's technology employees continued, just as the election news was about to accelerate. The New York Times has "a team of nearly 100 Times journalists, engineers, statisticians, data experts and researchers," who are "collaborating to deliver up-to-the-minute results" on Election Day, the newspaper said on its internet site, which shows no signs of disruption. Interviewed at the New York Times Company's third-quarter earnings call on Monday, CFO William Bardeen said the paper had "a track record of working effectively with unions."
