‘Can you imagine if our homepage went down?’ ‘New York Times’ tech workers go on strike before the election

NYT tech workers are asking you to skip Wordle and avoid the ‘Times’ Cooking app as they strike for a union contract.

One day before the election, New York Times tech workers are on strike, taking to a picket line outside the newspaper’s offices. And they’re asking readers not to cross their “digital picket line” by skipping Wordle and other New York Times’s Games and not using the Times Cooking app. Tech workers are also involved in live blogs, push alerts, and—crucially for the election—the famous New York Times election needle.
