NYT Union Hypocrisy
The New York Times has long supported both unions and high taxes—but at last, the once-great newspaper is forced to recognize reality: that unions and high taxes are anything but good for business. On November 12, 2009, the Times announced that it would be moving 25 staffers from the newsroom in New York to The Gainesville Sun’s newsroom in Florida. Why?
NYT transfers jobs to a right to work non unionized state to save money
Because the Florida paper’s “newsroom is not unionized and has lower salaries.”
According to Reuters, “the New York Times Co informed non-union employees that it would stop contributions to their pensions at the end of the year. The company plans to instead contribute 3 percent of non-union employees’ salaries each year to their 401K plans.” Reuters adds, “The New York Times Co has experienced declines in advertising and mounting debt that have forced it to cut costs and sell assets.”
It really is fitting that after all of this flagrant support for progressive tax and union policies, the Times has to move to Florida. Now the real test will be if the Times continues supporting all the policies that forced the move in the first place.

Thomas… unfortunately I very much doubt whether the NYT will learn from the situation. I do find it quite ironic that they preach all this stuff about evil corporations exploiting unions and here they go moving jobs to a non union office. The irony…
live and learn you liberal lefties
Unions have destroyed every industry they have touched — wait until you read the forced unionization clause in the health care bill ! No one is discussing this. It would give power to a new labor dept. bureaucracy that would force all medical providers to be unionized ! That is just one of their huge payoffs…..reason they are defending it. Wake up America !! Arguing about abortion is the smallest of our problems. Oba-mao is into devaluing human life — babies and the elderly !! It smooths the way for marxism ……. De-sensitizing the people to all values, religion, traditions, history, rule of law (like with KSM NY trial- make a mockery of our legal system in the eyes of the world — makes shariah law look more appealing) . He is a Muslim. Go on line and find the you tube video. Look at him touring the mosque in Turkey and see the total look of reverence all of his face and body !! Come after me Feds…..for expressing my opinion.
