New York Times Writer Nikole Hannah-Jones Speaks at Union Walkout

Nikole Hannah-Jones, editor of the New York Times‘ 1619 Project, spoke at a union protest outside of the Times building in Midtown Thursday, cheering on fellow employees who walked out after contract negotiations with management broke down.

At least a hundred employees representing the New York Times Guild and other newspaper unions attended the demonstration to demand higher wages, company investment in health-insurance plans, the preservation of pension plans, flexible work location arrangements, and more.
