New York Times Pays Minorities and Women Less, Union Study Finds

The New York Times pays unionized minority employees about 10 percent less on average and women earn 7 percent less than men in comparable roles, according to a study by the union at the company.

Women and minorities are more likely to hold low-paying jobs and are “much less prevalent in high-paying positions,” according to the News Guild, which published the study. The pay gap exists regardless of how long an employee has been on the job or the type of job, the union said.

Minority workers are “vastly over-represented in the lowest paid jobs,” including news assistants and help desk analysts, according to the study.

It was a union study looking at union workers. The union has been at this paper for over fifty years. You'd think that pay equality would have been a priority. Of course, though, the union, as are most, is run exclusively by white males who would make more money than their non-white or female counterparts if there were any.
