Layoffs have begun. Around 3AM PT, members of @dailykos Guild were notified that they were laid off via email. At the same time, our @PMWG union rep received notice that our #layoff-aversion proposal had been rejected in full.
While those employees were told that their employment @dailykos ends tomorrow, @dailykos management has already locked them out of Gmail, Slack, and other job-critical tools. #layoffs
Some of our teams have been decimated. The @DailyKosGuild, more than two years later and still without a contract, has officially lost every founding member. The @dailykos Equity Council is now one-third the size of last year.
We often ask ourselves how we would characterize our situation if it were playing out somewhere else, and not at @dailykos. Would we say this is #unionbusting if it happened at Starbucks?
Labor is a fundamental tenet of progressivism. Our workers have rights, and @dailykos has, until recently, been staunchly pro-labor. But right now they’ve lost their way, and we’re filing Unfair Labor Practice charges with the NLRB to help them find it.
