Loads of NYC media companies are unionizing (or at least trying to). Buzzfeed, Vox, Thrillist, and more. I'm not an expert on unions, but I do know a little bit about them. Still, here is what I don't understand...

Hell, on Buzzfeed's job page they say "no work on your birthday!" My god. https://www.buzzfeed.com/about/jobs

So, instead of asking for layoffs to stop, higher than market salaries, and other things, what about asking for a way to work together to create a very profitable company with profit sharing? Or lower expenses by cutting staff that work on losing projects?

Or saying "we are not creating value as a company. we, the workers, are a MAJOR part of this company...we demand more training so we can adapt and learn more profitable skills! we also demand that leaders be held accountable for not making profits!!!"

Hell, look at the Vox and Buzzfeed offices! Cut costs. Move to...GASP...New Jersey for cheaper offices. How about packing more people in per square foot. Get profitable. Make soooo much money that employees get overpaid.pic.twitter.com/jXxgGGn7Ys

If I were the boss at Buzzfeed or
@voxdotcom, I'd sit down with@vox_union and just show them the financials. "The company should make 20% income. After that, we can do profit sharing...what can you do to help us all get there?"Show this thread
