> I encourage everyone to respect the picket line and get your news elsewhere Technically, wouldn't "respecting the picket line" be not doing any "scab" work for the NYTimes? Asking us not to use the NYTimes is more of a boycott and a separate question (and not always something strikers ask for). Is it official policy of the strike that they request people boycott in solidarity as well?

> Asking us not to use the NYTimes is more of a boycott and a separate question Hence the use of "and". It presents two separate ideas for you to think about: - Respect the pickup line - Get your news elsewhere

One aspect of respecting the picket line is not scabbing, the second is refusing to do business, i.e. not crossing the picket line.

What they're asking from readers is far more limited in scope than not using the whole website: > The Tech Guild is asking readers to honor the digital picket line and not play popular NYT Games such as Wordle and Connections as well as not use the NYT Cooking app. Members of the newsroom union, Times Guild, have pledged not to do struck work, a right that’s protected under their contract. https://nyguild.org/post/new-york-times-tech-guild-walks-off-the-job https://nyguild.org/post/new-york-times-tech-guild-walks-off...
