Apparently, The New York Times is in negotiations with the Writers Guild over retirement benefits for the paper’s writers. The company wants to convert their pensions into 401k plans. The writers created this video in protest. One fretted about eating cat food should his 401k run out before he does. Another is now in his forties and only recently began to think about and plan for his future.
They think they can go somewhere else and get a better deal than they do at the Times. The Other McCain wishes them good luck with that.
Indeed. Perhaps the NYT’s grumbling newsroom proletariat should read about working conditions for young bloggers at the Washington Post.
The days of easy money and “banker’s hours” in the news business are definitely over, and the Writers Guild mentality is part of the problem, not part of the solution.
BigFurHat calls it the “Feel Good Comedy of the Year. ” Heh.
Hey, who knows, maybe they’ll all go on strike;)
You write yor leftist drivel that many do not want to read. Then the paper’s circulation numbers start to drop and loses advertising dollars. Guess what, the paper has to cut back somewhere. If you think you’ll get a job somewhere else guess again, the other papers are having the same drop in circulation thanks to more leftist drivel.
Maybe you can ask one of the seniors who have consumed dog food due to cuts in Social Security what “whine” goes well with cat food. What a minute, there haven’t been any cuts in Social Security.

Oh, how very choice of them to now defame cat food after all the crap sandwiches they willingly eat from the Obama administration. Cat food is a step up for these guys.

I am always amazed at the blindness of the the intelligentsia. At one time no one in the world had health insurance, pensions or benefits of any kind. The time that these things began to be offered to anyone was an absolutely weird time in world history, and was not going to last forever, yet no one ask the next question. What is going to happen when the amounts spent on past performance outpace the amounts available? Well that time has come and the answer is not, “Let’s continue to do what we have been doing.” If you people at the Times are as smart as you present yourselves to be then you know that even if you want it to continue, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE! If you want to be considered as some of the smartest people in the world then please, act like it.

This video prooves just how incompetent the liberal thought process! The combined ignorance/arrogance in this film represents why their paper is failing, yet they want to blame someone else, while they play the victim. How hysterical they must be to think this film produces sympathy for their cause. Strike! Please! so paper bankrupts sooner and can reorganize with new owners and real journalists.
