It's a great idea to authorize a strike when you work in the already unprofitable digital media industry.

This is almost certain to result in Slate meeting the same end as Mic.

Is he wrong that a publication shouldn't position itself as a voice of the #resistance while embracing "right to work"? Isn't it hard to have it both ways here?

We are a part of "the resistance"? First of all if you have an journalistic integrity you do not announce that you have joined a political movement. Secondly, Slate is a mountain of terrible ideas pandering in the worst of identity politics. If it goes away you can read Vox of Huff Post without skipping a beat.

Back to the resistance and the Right to Work. Rich people forming a club, and going on strike from jobs they don't need is not making any type of political statement. These are people who gleefully abandoned the working class as a part of the Democratic Party. Now they want to have a play strike to show how much of a part of the Resistance they are? Go away.

Sure you do. Publications have clear political leanings and always have. Slate is a liberal/neoliberal one and you should always read anyone with their biases in mind. But that bias is hard to reconcile with an ALEC hobbyhorse like right to work.

But of course there's a big distinction between liberalism and neoliberalism as the terms are commonly used in the U.S.

Always has is questionable. If you want to say Right to Work is trash then I agree with you. But the people really affected by it do not work at Slate.

A labor union is a great protection to have when it increases labor costs to the point that the employer can no longer pay its bills.

One by one, you will see all of the unionized digital media shops shut down.
