Maybe they&#x27;ll also vote to create well done and actual journalism and the content which goes with such commitment and resist the urge for click-baiting and taking sides...<p>I don&#x27;t really care how they self organize and how they decide to do labor bargaining.<p>As a reader I care if they can be actual journalists, people who can take time to collect the major facts or aspects of a story and not intentionally by ideology stress one aspect over another or ignore one aspect over another. If you want to have opinions do that in the editorial section -where I&#x27;d expect a mix of views, some I agree with some I disagree with.<p>I don&#x27;t want their &quot;narrative&quot; or anyone else&#x27;s.

I&#x27;m always surprised about the strong feelings about unions in the US. Coming from Sweden which have 70% of the workforce belonging to a union I have a hard time understanding why unions is a bad thing.<p>Isn&#x27;t it easier to handle one union that represents your workers than having to deal with all workers one on one?<p>Why are US companies afraid of unions?

&gt; <i>It was very simple things like severance if you get fired, things like having clearer salary minimums for each position, a clearer way to talk about raises, promotions</i><p>That&#x27;s what employers should pay attention to. It seems like simple stuff that <i>every</i> employer should already have.
