They own it but it’s still two different brands.

You’re the one bringing up “scabs” in your comments, not me, dude.

How does one say, “Get money, bitch!” in Swedish.

Nice to be warned in advance of what show’s to skip.

Time to get the guns out. 

There is no reason for the CEO to be at the meeting if the company representatives are there. S/he can be involved later if necessary.

There can be good reason for an employer to engage with a union. For instance, having a trained and ready and tested staff can be more valuable than finding and using new employees. It depends on the business, of course. It’s not that you’re entirely wrong. It’s that you’re not entirely right, either. And your…

Hey asshole, you made a claim which is completely wrong and now are trying to say you didn’t make the claim at all.

The point is that they could at LEAST get in line with creditors and not be completely screwed the way they are now.

Dude, you can spin your “contrarian” irrational b.s. out all you like, it still doesnt’ change the fact that if workers want a union, they want a union.

I also have a sneaking suspicion that they staged this whole thing. IE, they setup a meeting, invited HR, the CEO, Editors, whomever, but never got any confirmation they were coming. No where in this article (unless I missed it) does it say that the CEO or anyone else was confirmed to show up.

I never said profit-seeking was evil. Cut down your strawman.

“I beg to differ, oh...wait...he’s a Republican, right? Fuck him, he’s a useless cripple.”

See, I agree with Mr Smith1466. Nobody like Garfield.

You need to read their comment history to REALLY enjoy the pompousness.

Really, the entirety of Buzzfeed as a going concern should die in a fire and Peretti should go straight to hell.

HR showed clearly that they had confirmed the meeting.

The workers are in it for paycheck and, hopefully, benefits. They’re not doing profit-sharing with the owner. They are considered part of the costs that get debted against income when calculating profit on a corporate balance sheet.

What is the group pic for? Their social media to make the point that they showed up. That’s ALL it’s for. So whether he raises his head and looks into the camera is NOT the point.

I don’t like Buzzfeed’s chances either.
