New York Times and The Athletic workers demand company scrap Kalshi deal

Unionized workers at The New York Times and The Athletic have jointly opposed a potential partnership between The Athletic and Kalshi, a prediction market platform that New York's attorney general has called an "illegal, unlicensed gambling operation." The workers argue that such a deal would compromise the company's journalistic independence and credibility, particularly if Kalshi's product becomes integrated into The Athletic's journalism.
