For fuck’s sake, New York Times. This wasn’t an “improvisational departure.” This was a total lunatic acting like a total lunatic.
The results are in! With 99% of members voting, the New Yorker Union has unanimously passed a strike-authorization vote. @NewYorker and @CondeNast management must come to the table and bargain in good faith—otherwise, we will see them on the picket line. Fair contract now!

Duke football players were out helping signatures to join the union. A Union got NFL players the right to collectively bargain and get 48% of revenue that the league makes. Makes sense considering the players put their bodies on the line to make the product. We are next! #union
