Rounding out today's news, the New York Times Tech Guild is asking for your support in demanding contract terms that protect the Guild's trans and gender-nonconforming workers. They have seven demands, which are:
- Healthcare with comprehensive coverage for gender affirming care
- Proactive transition plans for employees
- Trans-inclusive anti-discrimination workplace training
- Gender neutral bathrooms on every floor of every location
- Support for name changes and use of preferred names across all company systems
- Just cause, no exceptions
- A dedicated resource for trans, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming employees
According to the Guild, most of these demands have already been brought up as a part of contract negotiations but have been rejected with no alternative proposal. Hence, the need to pressure management. Their petition form can be found below the cut of this post.
