So maybe I mis-read but...
The comment I was replying to suggests the reporter is pro-NYT but you are suggesting that the reporter is pro-Union?
Maybe the reporter did a great job after all :)

Nope, I'm saying that them being part of an unrelated union does not change the fact that they have a conflict of interest in reporting here.

If we used the Wall Street Journal, they'd also have a conflict interest, because their company competes with the New York Times.
I really think this is silly. If there is anything specific you don't think the New York Times article is presenting fairly, please share that.
This doesn't remove the conflict of interest because it's not the same union. Those in the other unions may well be more sympathetic to the company than to the strikers, especially given the timing of the strike.
It's likely interfering with their jobs right now in pursuit of a negotiation that they don't stand to gain from.
