      You might have me confused with someone else but I wasn't justifying anything by the Times or their Union or the leadership. I was defending worker protections as actually meaningful in response to what you said to Jeet.

      OK, sorry then. There is still no reason to suppose this technical protections were worth anything in his office environment, assuming he wanted to do his job of reporting and not just get paid.

      my understanding is that two union leaders helped lead the petition

      I'm not arguing *against* worker's rights, obviously. I'm arguing against responding to every example of a staff acting like shitheads, urging a colleague gets disciplined or fired over piffle, with "well.. this is why we need Just Cause," as if that is an adequate response

      I don't blame him for preferring to continue his *reporting* at another outlet instead of sitting in a de facto rubber room and collecting his salary

      it would have become his professional identity. fine thing to do if you're not a major reporter in the middle of the biggest story of your life

      So is this a crucial free speech battle or not? Or is it less important than one man's professional identity? I'm confused.

          it's not just a matter of professional identity but the actual work he would be able to do while a dumb and utterly gratuitous battle played out see the thread with the labor lawyers? Seems that making a stand for free speech and due process may not've done him much good anyway
