As Twitchy told you, Vox Media Union staged a walkout today. Not that anyone noticed. Because aside from Vox and Woke Twitter, nobody really cares what Vox is doing. And also because Vox’s Twitter feed is still pushing out posts like this one from Dylan Matthews:
How do each of the 2020 Democratic candidates plan to fight poverty?
What stance does each take on healthcare, education, immigration, and other policy areas that impact people’s lives?
Find out, in Vox’s guide to where 2020 Democrats stand on policy: https://t.co/pKbMvDXrOq

Matthews needs you to do the right thing and not click on it:
I did not schedule this tweet of my article. Please do not click links from the tweets management is forcing folks out of unit to do while we walk out https://t.co/NhkyeJLLAB

Fellow JuiceVoxer Matt Yglesias is not on the bargaining committee himself but nevertheless stands with the good and decent Vox Media Union members:
By “not involved” I mean I’m not on the bargaining committee and have not really been following the ups-and-downs all that closely.
I am obviously involved in the sense that I’m covered by the contract. I just know @vox_union has a good group and I have confidence in them.

I’m so committed to the @vox_union cause that I’m refusing to click on any tweets of Yglesias articles for the rest of the year. Might apply that to some of his other colleagues, too. pic.twitter.com/7fwrC5kkf4

See, who says we're not willing to help out? Solidarity, baby! #DontClickOnVox https://t.co/8sj8o6slfa

We think we can handle that. Anything for a cause as good and just as this one.
We just hope it works out for Vox Media Union:
Sounds like it's easy to replace you folks. https://t.co/6qd4pVG3pT

At least they can never be replaced in our hearts.
