NYTimes editors and reporters stage a walkout
2017-06-30
Sadly, absolutely nobody cares but their significant others, for those among them who have such things.
[MarketWatch] After a pair of letters sent to Executive Editor Dean Baquet and Managing Editor Joseph Kahn by Times reporters and copy editors, the New York Times editorial staff walk[ed] out of the newsroom on Thursday as a demonstration of solidarity as management threatens jobs.
Good idea. Somebody sez you might get fired, walk out. That'll secure yer cubby hole.
In the copy editors' letter to Baquet and Kahn, they say they feel betrayed and disrespected in the newsroom, and ask that management reconsider staffing cuts that are expected as the paper plans to restructure.

#11  If it had been a real strike, the participants were just self identifying as candidates for the next round of layoffs.

#6  They are not a fake news company. They are not a news company. After they released their editing staff it made the shift complete. They are now a marketing and propaganda company.

Fake walkout at a Fake News agency.

Come to flyover country to get a real perspective about the disrespect people have for you and your ink.

#1  The "walkout" lasted 20 minutes. A headline at rightwing news site Breitbart.com is calling it a "coffee break".
