Good. I support their strike. They should keep striking forever. Or at least until their job no longer exists.

Starvation is Counter-Revolutionary!

Their corporate owners should pay free lancers to write in their place and just let them strike forever. They may actually end up with a descent writer that way

and workers are asking supporters to donate to a strike fund in order to ensure the striking employees can pay bills during this turbulent time.

Seriously? "Randos need to give us free money so we can strike against the company that we feel isn't giving us enough money to produce our literal propaganda pieces?" If you need money to pay bills, maybe don't go on strike?

Remember when all the great worker strikes in history were funded by regular people? LOL

I guess that's the difference between people who are actually being abused in the workplace and entitled babies who just want to LARP as the oppressed.

Please let this be the reason that the last vestiges of Gawker are removed.

On the last one, I will agree. No one should be forced to move to that third-world shithole New York.

In general, wipe them from the fucking internet. Just...alt-ctrl-del.

More inclusive healthcare for trans and gender-expansive employees.

lol

Salary increases in the wake of the pandemic and during rapid inflation.

Has revenue gone up? Have margins increased due to increase pricing for ad buys? Inflation sucks but it hurts the employer as well.

Better family leave which is currently too limited.

Family leave is too limited in New York?? Lol bullshit

Allowing for work-from-home flexibility, and getting management to stop demanding remote workers move to NYC.

The one reasonable demand.

Not enough consistent work on diversity efforts.

I thought you wanted higher wages? Every dime spent on muh diversity is a dime that cannot be used for salary increases.

Imagine getting paid to write listicles, and then demanding to get paid while you're not. Like, these people don't even work in the first place. Why leave?

I hope they keep fighting the good fight. Take no quarters, or other small change. These guys are dollars, full and hard.

Did they learn nothing from Gawker media getting shut down and sold for assets? You overvalue your worth. I can have another you in a minute.

And it turns out the writers and editors there don’t want you visit it at all right now.

Hmmm... with a good ad block could I F5 those sites like crazy to help send a message but without funding the operations?
