Apr 20, 2015: In These Times: Workers of the Snark Factory, Unite: Gawker May Stake Out Ground for Unions in New Media
Unions, which were once fairly common in print media, have yet to catch on in new media. Gawker’s Hamilton Nolan hopes to change that. He’s been writing about labor at Gawker for some time now.
