No good Sir. NO. However, we could temporarily take their jobs while they’re on strike and have access to any press car we want.

What do you think the chances are that Jalopnik were responsible for the majority of the no votes?

This is honestly the dumbest thing I have seen in weeks. What do they have to unionize over? Is the Coal company paying them in tokens and forcing them to buy from the company store? Are corners being cut with regard to worker safety, and people who complain getting fired? Are they being coerced into working long hours without pay?

No? Oh, guess it’s just for the publicity. I’m sure this won’t make Gawker and its sister sites way more difficult to put up with during the election years...

I don’t know how it works for a website, but in the real world, when places unionize, there are consequences. Due to the higher wages of employees, the prices of the products being sold goes up, or there are less products produced. In fact, the employees may not make more money; the only reason their salaries are higher is due to union fees. Even worse, if workers strike, nothing gets accomplished, and industries start to fall apart. Writer’s Guild Strike back in 2007? No new TV shows. McDonald’s employee strikes? No revenue for the company.

Not to mention, most unions are hypocritical. Union leaders and members bash corporate CEOs for making a lot of money, yet the leaders make half a million dollars a year. They even pay protesters to protest “We want 15, 15 is right!” I’m only in high school and have never had a job, but if one has a basic understanding of economics, they’ll know unions are a bad decision.
