Striking NYT Workers Urge Wordle Boycott Amidst Newspaper Turmoil
TL;DR
Striking New York Times tech workers, part of the New York Times Tech Guild, are urging people not to play games like Wordle or use the NYT cooking app as part of their protest against what they claim are unfair labor practices. The guild, which includes over 600 tech workers, began their strike just before the US presidential election, a critical time for the newspaper's data visualizations. They have launched a "strike-friendly" website offering alternative games and recipes. The New York Times expressed disappointment over the strike but is committed to negotiating a fair contract.
