This made me laugh out loud:
There’s trouble brewing at Vox Media, the parent company of the left-wing news website Vox.com.
In November, an estimated 350 to 400 Vox editorial and video production workers signed cards nominating the Writers Guild of America, East, as their collective bargaining agent. But, according to union organizers, Vox is urging employees to hold a government-supervised secret ballot election before it formally recognizes the Writers Guild. The company rightly claims that a private vote is the more accurate gauge of employee sentiment.
This sparked outrage from Vox Union, which is leading the organizing effort. The group accused Vox Media of “union busting by pretending they don’t understand why an [National Labor Relations Board] election is unacceptable.” That’s right: A secret ballot election is now considered “union busting” and “unacceptable.”
It’s not that the union really thinks it’s unacceptable. Rather, they think that they’ll lose.
