Hundreds of tech workers for The New York Times are on strike on Election Day after walking off their jobs on Monday.
The New York Times Tech Guild has been threatening a strike if it did not have a new contract by Election Day, putting at risk the paper’s noted election coverage tools, such as its electoral map and its election needle.
