The final shape that the union might take, and who exactly will be in it, and what specific goals it will pursue all remain to be seen.

Sometimes in the middle of this they post a huge mockery of the Buzzfeed logo and crow about how Buzzfeed secretly deleted its 20 year old post that that implied that pesticides are bad for you, and that this means Buzzfeed should not be taken seriously as journalism. They do a good job hating police however.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/04/17/gawker-is-making-unionizing-look-easy/ posted:Gawker readers were presented with some startling news on Thursday afternoon: The popular Web site's mostly 20-something staff is planning to join the Writers Guild of America. The post, entitled "Why we've decided to organize," came after a meeting of about 30 writers that convinced de facto leader Hamilton Nolan there was no way the decision could remain under wraps, so he might as well announce it first...
"This company is full of socialists," he said in an interview. "We just had a meeting with the whole company and everybody talked about it and that’s okay, and nobody’s afraid they’re going to get fired for it."
So is it possible that it's not so difficult to organize in new media as the paucity of unions there would seem to suggest? That while it might seem hard at first, ownership won't actually try to stand in workers' way?
Well, there's no guarantee that other online outfits -- such as Vice, which Nolan has repeatedly dinged for its low salaries -- will react with the same sanguinity. But it's also possible that, just as many dated styles come back into vogue eventually, unions have taken on a kind of retro cool among the youth of today.

And corporations that depend on attracting that demographic -- both as a workforce and as a readership -- might figure that trying to bust a union could pose too great a risk to their brand.
haha livin in the future, where things like this get written for paper. now tThat's paper!

That's actually a fair criticism. Usually when things go to shit, it's healthy young men who end up on top because they are the strongest. Prolonged revolution or civil war between classes would be a holocaust for the disabled, unless they became willing participants by strapping bombs to themselves.
