The New York Times and the guild representing its newsroom employees reached an agreement on a new five-year contract.
The proposed deal includes immediate salary increases of up to 12.5%, a new $65,000 minimum salary, and bonuses.
The deal also includes the guild's first contractual agreement on hybrid work, expanded benefits, and a ban on NDAs in cases of workplace abuse.
