The New York Times is preparing for more than 1,100 of its union staffers to go on strike for a full day Thursday -- an act of protest that has not been staged by employees at the paper of record since the late 1970s.

The historic work stoppage is set to go in effect at midnight on December 8 and last for an entire 24 hours. Instead of filing stories, employees will be seen picketing outside The Times’ offices at 1pm, with prominent journalists such as Nikole Hannah-Jones set to speak during a solidarity rally. Some major desks at the paper could lose a staggering 90% of their workforce during the strike, according to the NewsGuild of New York, which represents journalists and other staffers at The Times.

And it is possible an agreement will somehow be struck before the work stoppage goes into effect. But it’s not looking great. A spokesperson for The NYT said “no decisions have been made” about bargaining on Wednesday. But NewsGuild spokesperson Wen Zhuang said there are no more planned sessions on the schedule, which would make it far more difficult to hammer out a last-minute agreement. “It’s very likely that the walk out will be happening,” Zhuang said.
