More than 1,000 employees at the New York Times do not want to come back into the office

Journalists at the New York Times are threatening to strike if the company does not agree to demands from their union.

The dispute is part of contract negotiations between the News Guild union, and upper management over wages.

Around 1,300 journalists would like to to keep working remotely, as they’ve done so during the pandemic.

But like many companies, the newspaper wants its journalists back in the office.

“We want respect and a fair contract,” said journalist Haley Willis.

The union says there will still be high-quality work from its reporters but it is against changes to working conditions.

“We presented the NewsGuild with a wage proposal that would offer contractual increases of 10 percent over the remaining two and a half years of the new contract,” a spokesperson for The Times said.

“We look forward to making progress toward an agreement,” the spokesperson added.

It follows The Times offering branded lunchboxes to welcome its employees back to the office. But the gesture was met with criticism by journalists.

Some medical professionals say it can be helpful for people with post-traumatic stress disorder — which is why a group has been fighting to get MDMA legalized as a prescription drug.

Currently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is reviewing an application to use MDMA to treat PTSD. The agency is expected to announce its ruling as soon as August.
