Has anyone tried to run a newspaper as a co-op? If you feel like you can run the organization and are pro employee ownership this seems like the logical progression if you feel cheated out of a job. On the other hand I can understand why anyone who is running an unprofitable business would want to shut it down if it were highly likely that it is going to lose more money in the future.

If I were a former staff member who voted to unionize, I would start a new site and use this momentum as a launching point.
