The New York Times’ unions are trying to stop the Gray Lady from imposing a policy that will track whether workers are complying with its return-to-office mandate, according to a new report. The New York Times Guild, which represents the majority of the newsroom workers, and the Times Tech Guild, which includes over 600 Times tech staffers, sent cease-and-desist letters to management last week, Axios reported Tuesday. A Times rep shot back that the contract does, however, acknowledge that the company has a right to enforce its return-to-office policies. A deal has not yet been reached with the tech workers’ union, which was ratified in 2022. Unionized Times workers inked a new contract with management in May.
