Today, the New York Daily News Union is walking off the job for 24 hours. 🪧🪧🪧 We are fed up with Alden Global Capital’s constant cuts and apparent commitment to shrinking the paper. Here are some reasons we’re taking a stand: 🧵 #defendtheNYDN
Management is trying to cut overtime across the board. Because the staff is so small, Metro reporters often work overtime to provide the best possible coverage. Instead, Alden wants to pay less to create a worse paper. 📰
@NYDNUnion I’m just here for the impending schadenfreude. Enjoy the layoffs!
@NYDNUnion Your paper sucks & lost all credibility years ago. No one cares
@NYDNUnion @byjuliapoe Alden is terrible. They gutted the Chicago Tribune. Good luck!
@NYDNUnion Weird to do a voluntary layoff. I'm sure Alden thanks you.
@NYDNUnion @Noah__Goldberg As always, I fully support anything that accelerates the inevitable demise of “journalism”. Strike away! Enjoy the coming well-earned layoffs! 🥳
