    I predict that - ironically - media coverage of this newspaper dispute will be piss-poor. Short on details and wrong about most.

    Are the details all that mysterious, or really anything that can be gotten wrong? The guild mostly wants higher base pay. The company has been balking. The guild sent a letter saying they are walking out on December 8 if there is no contract. The details don't seem that complicated, as is usually the case with labor disputes.

    If the NYT's journalists don't have leverage right now, I'm not sure any union in journalism will ever have leverage.

    You just replace those 10,000 word epics on salamanders in Botswana with wire.

    Organizing is the last best hope, and even that may not be enough.

    Even for a planned one-day work stoppage?

    They'll just employ a bunch of 15-year-olds who use "would" in every sentence.

    "Donald Trump would be indicted by a Fulton County grand jury on Christmas Eve"
