More than 1,100 union members are planning to participate in the 8 December stoppage.
The New York Times is facing its first major work stoppage since the 1970s, after staff demanding better pay and benefits declared a 24-hour walkout.
"We're incredibly fortunate to work for one of the few places in media, or print media, that is profitable, healthily profitable," said sports reporter Kevin Draper. "And yet the proposals that management have made are barely better than what we got last time." International staff, for example, are not part of the union, which means the World Cup coverage that has been dominating sports news is unaffected, Mr Draper said.Major newspaper strikes in New York City in the 1960s upended the industry
Since the prior contract expired in March 2021, the two sides have been at odds over issues such as starting pay, wage increases, retirement and health care policies and remote work. It said it was pushing to secure a $65,000 starting salary and pay raises of 5.5% in 2023 and 2024, noting that the company's proposals have not made up for the rising cost of living.
