is it normal for unions to form instantly after voting? (genuine question, wondering if there is some intermediary negotiation phase between vote and actually having union)

they have to register w/ the larger union they're joining (in this case Writers Guild East) but it doesn't sound like that is what is holding it up

it only mentioned that the guardian's was instantaneous but didn't say how long it took for gawker's to be acknowledged. just wondering if this is actually an unusual amount of time to wait

unfortunately probably not

can confirm this is mgmt stonewalling plain and simple, like if they stick their fingers in their ears it will just go away--they may be preparing to force an NLRB certified election, where they'd have the opportunity to undermine WGE.

The Huffington Post is a progressive news site. It is only a matter of time before some of their employees ask to unionize. Will Arianna Huffington, a good liberal, support their request?Buzzfeed has publicly stated its commitment to a variety of progressive ideals. It is only a matter of time before some of its employees ask to unionize. Will Ben Smith and Jonah Peretti support their request?

lol at him characterizing his incredibly nasty and smug remarks in that piece as "i mentioned in passing..."
anything that means less of his shitty and worthless writing on the internet is a good development

Al Jazeera America has removed the satirical piece originally posted on this link, which included commentary on our company that we believe was not appropriate given its imminent closure.
