The next paragraph:
> even in a company that genuinely does try to be the best in digital media, things can slip through the cracks, and a bad manager can make a world of difference. I had always gotten along very well with my bosses at Vox, but that could change in one corporate reshuffling. I also started to worry about the future: What if, in a very volatile journalism industry, I’m laid off, or Vox is sold off to another company? Who’s to say the next owners would be as good as the current ones?
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoI didn't consider a journalism employee to be in the highly-technically-skilled category. Sure they have a reason to want some security.

He feels he's part of a highly skilled trade which was his reason for opposing unions. Journalism isn't the same thing as "writing listicles for Buzzfeed", and even that isn't always as easy as it might seem to be to laymen.
- roywiggins 7y agoWell, he did. That's why he didn't think he needed a union.
