New York Times Tech Workers Go on Strike
www.nytimes.com
The Times Tech Guild represents more than 600 software developers and others who run the back-end systems behind The Times’s digital operation.

They’re asking that people stay off NYT games and cooking-related pages:

NYT Games and Cooking are BEHIND THE PICKET LINE. Please don’t play or engage with Games or Cooking content while the strike lasts!

News coverage — including election coverage — is NOT behind the picket line. It’s okay to read and share that, though the site and app may very well have problems.
