WE HAVE EXCITING NEWS! Today, workers from The Athletic sent a letter to Times management calling on them to recognize Athletic editorial workers as members of the Times Guild. We are thrilled to have them in our union.

Today, we all sent a clear message to Times management: Sports jobs are Times Guild jobs, and we will not stand for a two-tier system of employment at The Times. Athletic staff does Times Guild work, and they deserve Times Guild benefits.

We are collectively calling on Times management to do the right thing and recognize Athletic staff as part of our union. We are stronger together, and we will stand together in this fight.

Our mission as staff across The New York Times is clear: We aim to ensure that all workers at this company have a voice at the table, building and supporting a diverse workforce, and guaranteeing fair pay and job protections, no matter where they work within The Times.

We know a rising tide lifts all boats and we are so excited by this big step for Athletic staff. You can learn more in our press release below:

So excited for this day to finally arrive. Sports jobs are Times Guild jobs. #IAMTIMESGUILD

My dad was a proud union man, with the Postal Workers. My mom was a union supporter, as a registered nurse. Union benefits helped our family when we needed it. I support the Times Guild and my colleagues at The Athletic. Sports jobs are union jobs.
