More Marxist suicides in the making
New York (CNN Business)After a crushing round of layoffs that sent shockwaves through the newsroom, BuzzFeed's editorial staff announced on Tuesday that they have formed a union to grapple with the threats looming over the media industry.
Employees have informed BuzzFeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith of their intentions, according to the NewsGuild of New York ? the union with which BuzzFeed is organizing. NewsGuild said that more than 90% of "eligible editorial employees signed on to the union effort."
In a statement Tuesday, Smith said, "We look forward to meeting with the organizers to discuss a way toward voluntarily recognizing their union."
BuzzFeed, once a darling in the digital media space, laid off 15% of its workforce last month. Employees took to Medium to write an open letter to the company's leadership team to express anger over BuzzFeed's decision not to pay laid-off staffers for earned paid time off. CEO Jonah Peretti eventually relented after the backlash.

Just another form of welfare, form a union to protect people in unnecessary positions for being laid off... 0 -
Government enforced unions up in NY and NJ are the biggest taxpayer scam. They are so greedy they are pricing themselves out of the market. 0 -

Yep, and the reason taxes are disproportionally high. GOVERNMENT employees should NEVER have an individual right to collectively bargain without the consent of tax paying voters.0 -
KARMA: Media has transformed itself from the once most trusted and admired to the lowest form of human debris: Dishonesty and total lack of integrity. There is rarely a story they don't politicize.
They are crooks, propagandists and spreaders of partisan hate. There are very few exceptions. Embracing Marxism comes as no surprise.0 -

A business in trouble needs to form a union NOW before it's too late.
The quicker the better and sooner they'll all be out of their misery and laid off. Darn, that'd mean "back to the basement" wrapped in their security blanket.[:D][:D]0 -
They're all a lying bunch of SOB's that are getting what they deserve. I watch absolutely zero news on TV of any sort. I don't even believe they can report the weather without making it up. They are a disgrace to humanity and should be herded up and placed in compounds similar to leper colonies. 0
