Stuff split its company in two and is using that as an excuse to divide the union. This industry has eroded beyond recognition and workers, not management, are bearing the cost of that www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

Just adding that reporters are not the most sympathetic lot but the media would be more robust/competent if pay and conditions were improved and it was seen as a viable career for more people.
Dumb question: who, if anyone, is Sinead the CEO accountable to?
Technically no one - she co-owns Stuff Digital with Trademe and owns all of Masthead Publishing.
That's wild. Capitalism without capital.
I guess I assumed that buy for a dollar thing meant something more complicated than "and now she owns it"!
Solidarity with you all. As one of the many who shifted from freelancing to comms many years ago, I wish journalism was a healthier sector with viable careers for more people.
We need reporters desperately. Meta has eroded the media landscape and the government’s lack of willingness to support a robust local media and instead often malign it is so gross. Kia kaha!!
Id care more if they weren't responsible for platforming act, nats and labour without question and doing nothing but spreading fascist propaganda tbh.
Before you scream at me, go see kyle d churches posts on the subject
Fully support you guys striking for what you're worth and looking forward to you all extending the same support when writing about other striking workers
In the age of corporate power consolidation and increasing fascist tendencies from the elites, we need to realise really quick that we'll hang separately if we don't hang together
Based on the 40 years I've been alive, I'll be over here indulging my nihilistic tendencies for a while 🤷♂️

This is how neoliberalism works. Weaken or abolish the unions & accelerate the wage theft of the workers in order to increase the profits of the minuscule few. Entire Empires have fallen over this ideology & they will again.

Best of luck from your southern industry colleagues, Charlie. Stick it to 'em.
Emboldened by this anti Union, anti worker government. Vote them out✊🏼
