      I don’t see how ending at-will employment solves the cancel problem in a milieu where “signed a letter that made me feel less safe” could be construed as justified grounds for termination.

      You might want to talk to a labor lawyer about this.

      Wonder if you've changed you mind any about this in light of the NYT union's failure to back MacNeil, and also the activism by guild leaders there to (not quote-unquote in their "official capacity") get him fired?

      MacNeil shouldn't have quit.

      I mean in all seriousness worker protections don't really work unless people are willing to assert their rights despite pressure not to.

      So it's your view that if he had refused to resign when management asked him to, the labor union (some of whose leaders led a parallel *firing campaign*; many of whose members signed a doc effectively demanding his firing) would have rallied to his side?

      If they hadn't he had the option of enforcing his contract. Under the rules he was not supposed to be disciplined twice for the same thing.

      mmm I suppose the next time this happens there will be a *different* complicated reason why it was the victim's fault. Ptolemaic deferent theory of labor

      It's not Ptolemaic, it's labor law as it exists. We could, of course, try to change the law.

          In labor law as it usually works, a member doesn’t need to engage his own counsel to understand that, despite the union leadership urging he be fired, the union will in fact assert his procedural rights against the mob led by union leadership. They usually help, except here.

          I'm going to defer to these three labor lawyers over your claims about "labor law as it exists"https://twitter.com/AliceFromQueens/status/1358985626264227841 …

          It seems I've taken @HeerJeet's suggestion of talking to a labor lawyer--three, if I'm not mistaken. Very useful information about the inevitable gap between some purportedly simple legal remedies and their likely results https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1283042360839024641 …
