Tell The New York Times To Let Rich Quan Care for His Father

Rich Quan is a certified caregiver for his father, who is 96 and suffers from advanced Alzheimer’s disease. Rich is also an engineer at The New York Times and a member of the New York Times Tech Guild (TNG-CWA Local 31003). He provides vital daily care for his father while, at the same time, working efficiently out of his home. Despite a provision in the Tech Guild contract providing for remote work for caregiving and Rich’s demonstrated ability to be an efficient remote worker, Times management has directed him to return to the office and unilaterally denied his appeal.

Stand with the Tech Guild and urge management to grant Rich a remote work accommodation.

No worker should be forced to choose between a paycheck and the well-being of their loved ones.
