Good morning, @nytimes. We solved today's crossword for you.
ALT A crossword format shows NYTIMES intersecting with UNION and WALKS. The clues say "Company whose workers are asking for a fair contract" Answer: NYTIMES; "Journalists, designers, security guards, news assistants and more make this" Answer: UNION; and "What the union does if the NYTimes doesn't settle the contract by December 8" Answer: WALKS. The New York Times Guild logo is on the image.
