The New York Times removes some mentions of union work from staff bios

• The New York Times removed details about union work from its staff's bios.
• Language about the union's effort to make the Times "fair and equitable" was scrubbed.
• The Times Guild said the edits to bios post-publication were 'petty.'

Some staffers at The New York Times say the company removed some mentions of their union work from their public-facing staff biographies.

It comes after the Times asked its reporters to tell the audience a little more about themselves — and then snatched the metaphorical mic away when reporters used the opportunity to detail their union work, according to reports.
