Union or Woke Activist Group? New York Times Employees Raise Questions About Guild's Role in Recent Dismissals

"Journalists are not expendable," the New York Times Guild declared in July. "Employers are attempting to undermine our collective strength and security." But not every member of the Guild believes the union is practicing what it preaches. The union’s handling of star science reporter Donald...

"The Guild has [weighed in against its own members] by exploiting provisions in U.S. labor law that protect workers who voice concerns about workplace 'safety'- and which help unions force out those who 'harm' that safety."
So safetyism trumps labor solidarity?

What a morass.

What a morass.

The 150-plus group of activist NY Times employees demands an apology from Donald McNeil *to them* for a word he was punished for saying to high school students in Peru in 2019. They get it, he's forced out. Meanwhile key agitator (Hannah-Jones) tweets phone number of young journalist with the Free Beacon; no apologies.

Other news organizations have their own personnel dramas. But none attract the spotlight the way The Times does.

The last three paragraphs contain easy-to-answer questions that will continue to be answered wrongly

lol. You put a bunch of journalism majors in the same place and this is what you get.

Journalism actually used to be a more blue collar profession. Young hard nosed kids from working class backgrounds looking to hold power to account and get the truth to the masses. It wasn’t a glamorous profession.

It has been co-opted by a bunch of whiny, woke, Ivy Leaguers who are more interested in furthering their world view (because they know better) than reporting the news. And hob knobbing with the rich and powerful of their same political persuasion.

Not surprising but this piece on Slate Star Codex & controversy is much better than the NYT piece

Wow, no wonder they published that letter in Harper's!

Money quote: “Really? Since the year 2000, the Times has published “the N-word” 247 times.”

Evidently the New York Times needs to fire itself, several times over.

I never did understand why politically correct people thought it was OK to say “N-word” instead of the word it’s representing.

 

[Spartans9312]

So McNeil “used bad judgment by repeating a racist slur in the context of a conversation about racist language" and the Times "disciplined" him as a result.

I wonder what exactly that entailed.

Hypocritical Times

Did The New York Times force out a star reporter over claims of racism, only to reassure the Pulitzer Prize Board that he was innocent?

Who is the woke in this story?

The student who complained about the reporter using a racial slur or the NY Times for firing the reporter? Or who?

Originally I understood woke to mean someone sensitive to racial slurs. More recently it includes those in authority who bully folks guilty of not being sensitive to racial remarks and actions.

Set me straight.
