- errantspark 5y agoFor real? Is there a citation you've got for this? That seems crazy low.
- vineyardmike 5y ago> During two years of bargaining, The New York Times company has slow-walked contract negotiations with unfair labor practices and insignificant wage offers that severely underpay our staff. We, members of the Wirecutter Union, are fed up. The wage increases we’re seeking amount to only about $300,000, spread over our 65 person unit. Wirecutter has been wildly successful, especially over the time we’ve been bargaining this contract, and continues to bring in record revenue for the Times, which is sitting on over $1 billion in cash. Additionally, Times management has offered paltry guaranteed wage increases of only 1%, despite soaring inflation and cash flows. https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-striking-wirecutter-union-members https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-striking-wirecutter-union... https://twitter.com/wirecutterunion/status/1463175094218416133 https://twitter.com/wirecutterunion/status/14631750942184161...
- ziml77 5y agoAre they making enough off Wirecutter to do that? I have no idea how much Wirecutter brought in this year versus previous years.
