I think this is a perfect anti union example. These "journalists" were probably laid off because the market was not interested in their highly politicized outrage "journalism," possibly in addition the recent expiration of the Countering Disinformation and Propaganda act. A union would only have kept these people onboard as dead weight.
- yyyymmddhhmmss 8y agoI am the last person who would ever defend the journalism you’re talking about, but I would defend every living person being valued somewhere above “dead weight”. I get your point, but nobody deserves to be considered as nothing more than a potential utility for an enterprise to exploit. We need to talk about alternatives.
- jerkstate 8y agoIf they unionize that means that the company as a whole would reap what they sow with their editorial direction, instead of being able to just lay off the employees who carried out the marching orders. Their listicle and quizlet department can't save them now. I'm for it.
- darawk 8y ago> If they unionize that means that the company as a whole would reap what they sow with their editorial direction ...And so you mean the company would fold. What would be good about that?
- yyyymmddhhmmss 8y agoSo you think the employees should be responsible for the management’s ability to keep the ship afloat with the type of journalism they hire and direct the employees to produce?
