> Striking during election week is kind of a crappy move to pull

Siblings are doubting this, but you can think of it like price gouging. It's the right behavior for extracting maximum value, but it burns a lot of trust, and that's important for a long-term business arrangement. It's playing the short game when they should be playing the long game.

Strikes happen when the trust is already burned. This has been going on for a long time, and we’re only seeing the public side of the conflict. > The guild, which was formed in 2022, has yet to secure a contract after more than two years of bargaining.

Maybe there is little trust left? I don't know about NYT in particular, but the news regularly suggests employees trusting businesses are nothing but suckers.
