The CEO of Perplexity Offers to Provide Services During NYT Tech Workers Strike

The CEO of AI search company Perplexity, Aravind Srinivas, has made a controversial offer to cross a virtual picket line and provide services during a strike by New York Times tech workers. This move has sparked debate and raised questions about solidarity in the tech industry.

The NYT Tech Guild announced its strike on Monday, citing the company’s refusal to agree to a fair contract and ongoing unfair labor practices. The workers, who provide software support and data analysis for the Times on the business side, have been vocal about their demands for a 2.5 percent annual wage increase and maintaining the current two days per week in-office expectation.

Despite negotiations, the strike went ahead, with picketers gathering in front of the NYT building in New York. The Times’ publisher, AG Sulzberger, condemned the strike, highlighting the importance of the paper’s journalism during a crucial time.

Amidst the turmoil, Perplexity’s CEO offered to step in for the striking workers. In a tweet directed at the NYT publisher, Srinivas expressed his willingness to ensure essential coverage during the election period. While his intentions may seem noble, the offer has been met with criticism and accusations of scab behavior.

Acting as a scab, a term used to describe individuals who take over the roles of striking workers, Srinivas’ offer has stirred controversy within the tech community. While his company’s election information hub may be of value, the decision to replace striking workers has raised ethical concerns.

It’s worth noting that the relationship between Perplexity and the NYT is strained, with the Times previously sending a cease and desist letter to the startup over alleged article scraping. This latest development adds another layer of complexity to their interactions.
