    Tech workers at The New York Times on Thursday voted in favor of certifying their union in a National Labor Relations Board election, making it one of the biggest tech unions in America.

    The workers voted in favor, 404 to 88, easily reaching the needed majority of the ballots that were cast. A win means the union, the Times Tech Guild, can begin negotiations for a contract with management.
    ...
    The group is the biggest tech union with bargaining rights in America. Hundreds of Google employees announced a union in January 2021, but it is not registered with the N.L.R.B. and cannot engage in collective bargaining.
