U.S. labor officials have filed a complaint accusing The New York Times Co of unlawfully interfering with the organizing efforts of tech employees by barring a group of workers from showing union support. Those workers in April announced they had formed a union representing about 650 employees, including software engineers and product managers. The company declined to voluntarily recognize the Times Tech Guild, forcing the issue to proceed to a formal election through the NLRB. The Times Tech Guild in a series of Twitter posts on Wednesday said the NLRB had offered the company the chance to settle the charge but it declined. "It's frustrating to see this response, yet another example of a pattern of delays we've experienced at every step of our campaign," the Times Tech Guild said.
