Earlier today we told you how Vox staffers have decided to attempt to unionize. Well, it gets better…
Check out this hot take from Vox’s own German Lopez:
I am against #VoxUnion.
— German Lopez (@germanrlopez) November 17, 2017
You see, the union is really just a way to protect all of the lazy journos in the Vox newsroom:
I know writers who want a union as protection for laziness, which will make a lot of things worse (including for writers).

HAHAHA! Lopez likes Vox just the way it is and doesn’t want to rock the boat:
Vox Media is a generous company (unusually so for digital media), and some people want to take advantage of that.

And he thinks his colleagues are out to take advantage of Vox’s generosity:

This should be fun to watch:
Also, a fun thing to do is find out how much the top 5 earners in your company make and compare it to standard newsroom salaries. That's always a delightful exercise. https://t.co/HVpH5LyJXF

Also can we point out that he makes no sense? Charles C.W. Cooke tweets, “I’m supportive of unions, which don’t do the things critics say they do. I’m just against the one that might be set up at my workplace, which will do those things.”
