They are going to begin their protest at 9 a.m.

The New York Times Tech Guild that represents hundreds of the giant newspaper’s tech staffers went on strike on Monday, one day before Election Day.
The guild said in a statement that members would begin protesting outside the Times headquarters on a daily basis, beginning at 9 a.m. on Monday, according to the New York Times.
