No they don’t, they might say they do but their actions belie their words. Many of them voted for this.

Correct me if I’m wrong or ootl but isn’t the guardian an independent media company?

They’re owned by Scott Trust, a venture capital firm.
“Neither workers at the newspapers nor readers participate in voting for board members.”

Take from that what you will. My take is that “venture capital” is a polite pseudonym for fascist

That’s not a completely accurate assessment of that Wikipedia page, but I do agree VCs are usually behind every other shitty thing going on right now

There’s also a voluntary cost associated with the union. I can foresee people liking it on paper, but backing away when it’s time to forfeit $90 per month. (I don’t know the average cost, but that’s what I pay). You gotta be in a good spot to support it.
