The Athletic staff in the US has organized with The NewsGuild of New York and is seeking recognition from The New York Times as part of their union, The Times Guild.
The editorial staff at The Athletic announced Monday it has organized with The NewsGuild of New York to become part of the New York Times' newsroom union, The Times Guild. The Athletic is now asking New York Times management to recognize its staffers as part of the union. In an email on behalf of about 200 U.S.-based editorial staff to Times Publisher A.G.
Sulzberger and CEO Meredith Kopit Levien, The Athletic stated, 'We are proud of all that The Athletic and The New York Times as a whole has accomplished since our 2022 acquisition, and we know that our inclusion in the Times Guild will only further strengthen our work.' The New York Times acquired the online sports news outlet in 2022. While management originally claimed The Athletic’s operations would be separate, they were integrated into the newsroom. Times management closed the New York Times sports desk in September 2023 and the work was allocated to Times staff assigned to The Athletic. The Times Guild leaders also sent a statement to management indicating they have their full support for The Athletic’s inclusion in their union. 'We urge the company to recognize what has been true since the company began publishing The Athletic’s work under the banner of The New York Times: We are one newsroom, and our colleagues at The Athletic are Times Guild members,' they wrote. Katie Strang, a senior investigative writer for The Athletic, is urging New York Times management to include her team in the bargaining unit. 'Over the past several months, we have organized around the principle of preserving what makes The Athletic great — our staff, our work and our loyal readership,' she said. 'The work we do is union work, and we believe we should be afforded the same benefits and protections as the Times Guild members under their current contract.'
