Amazing how much progressives love unions until they have to deal with them. The Washington Examiner reports:
John MacArthur, publisher of the lefty opinon magazine, is pouring millions of his own dollars into magazine as he refuses to embrace an internet strategy for the magazine. Now he wants to make staff cuts. In order to protect against staff cuts, the employees are trying to form a union, which MacArthur is trying to prevent, even though as a good lefty he’s on record as a staunch union supporter.[…]
Staffers couldn’t help but chuckle at the irony: The staunch defender of unions, who in a 2009 Harper’s piece called the UAW “the country’s best and traditionally most honest mass labor organization,” was now on the other side of the table as the “worst kind of factory owner,” as one staffer put it to me.
A liberal who discovered that saving the jobs of his wannabe-union employees is irrelevant if there isn’t a publication to employ them.
