Jason Schreier of Kotaku posts a really ominous tweet

There is no reason a union has to be at odds with an employer. A union is there to represent the interests of the working body. If the employer likewise takes steps and makes efforts to keep it's workers happy, healthy, and stable, the union doesn't in theory have to fight for anything (And remains a watchdog).
If employers don't have the interests of their employees in mind, then yes, the union is supposed to cause problems for them. And of course the employer is likely to try to fight them because obviously they don't want to bow to their employees if they're trying to implement policies that negativity affect employees.

agreed. I don't really like a lot of Kotaku's content but Jason does really solid work so hopefully he'll land somewhere better or start up his own gig.

Workers don't unionize AGAINST their companies. They unionize FOR the workers.
Big difference.
Wishing Kotaku and the rest of the sites the best of luck in dealing with this BS
By far's a stretch, especially so long as Cecilia D'Anastasio (apologies with spelling) is working at the same place, though I concede not as much of her stuff lands here because it talks about the more social aspects of games. I do agree that Jason will be picked up instantly though.

The fuck? Whether you like their content or not, people being treated unfairly by their employer is something you should sympathize with.
No matter what you think, people might(/will?) still lose jobs over this, which is always a bad thing.
Either they're going on strike or they're getting fired. Or both. :/
Strike hard! Hopefully they can at least rip shit up on their way out. Got a lot of eyes on them because of the Deadspin shit.
I took this to mean she and her co-workers will be walking off the job to protest G/O's recent moves.
typically, if the entire (or near entire) work force stops working, no money is made.
It shifts power back to the workers from those at the top who are skimming from their labor.
He's had that goddamn crocodile avatar since at least 2011 lol
Ah, Gawker
There's more to Kotaku than Schreier's excelent work. I really like the work Kirk Hamilton and Maddy Myers have put in, particularly the Splitscreen podcast.
Just one - the deputy editor of Deadspin. Nothing has been confirmed about Kotaku.
I'm not sure what I expected from someone with the username "AlphaMale".
Dude is big enough he could probably secure funding/backing for his own thing
I think they are going on strike not that everyone is getting fired but who knows with their upper management ghouls.
I hope these guys do a Giant Bomb and form their own publication. I'd follow them wherever they go.
Well this is fucking terrible.... Kotaku has been doing really great work for a while now.... And I'm not just talking about Jason.
A lot of people (including in this thread) love to shit on that site because of its history but the reality is that it has been mostly quality for a while now.
Really big blow for the industry
