So, I’ve read here on the dope that some workers at the NYT are on strike, but I’m curious  
Who?  
Over what issues?  
Any guesses as to likely outcomes?

So if course I’m turning to the rest of you to find clear answers. Tia.

> The Times Tech Guild, which represents workers like software developers and data analysts at The New York Times, went on strike early Monday, just ahead of the busy Election Day news period.
