95% of our members voted to strike because we want fair pay, just cause, and flexible remote work, and @nytimes refused to make a deal. Management spin doesn't matter though—worker power does.
Guys. If you think hundreds of people are going on strike over trigger warnings, you’re the mark.

We are on ULP strike. We gave @nytimes management months of notice of our strike deadline, we made ourselves available around the clock, but the company has decided that our members aren’t worth enough to agree to a fair contract and stop committing unfair labor practices.

Nobody who actually knows anything about elections in this country is saying this.
There is no one more puzzled about the Atlas poll result in North Carolina than me. The Early Voting data suggests a very strong performance by Republicans and frankly it's difficult to see how based on this data the race is even close.
