Once again we see liberals reject their own position once that position affects them. This is grossly despicable and summarizes just how disgusting the liberal position - with all of its appalling hypocrisy - really is....
Media Matters rejects the myth that unions reduce business competitiveness. Unions can increase individual firms productivity, in fact, they say apparently so long as that firm is not Media Matters.
The liberal outfits staff recently requested representation by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). But Media Matters management did not exactly welcome this prospective productivity boost with open arms. Instead of recognizing the union, Media Matters insisted on a secret-ballot election. An election that it intends to fight, having retained the services of Perkins Coie, a noted management-side law firm.
MMFAs employees released a statement expressing their disappointment:
The actions of Media Matters executives have placed employees in the impossible position of continuing to produce content espousing pro-labor values for an employer who is challenging our right to unionize. Not only is management subjecting Media Matters employees to arduous NLRB procedures, the actions of their attorneys indicate Media Matters executives object so tenaciously to our union that they appear willing to prevent employees from ever having the opportunity to vote on the matter.
Add Media Matters to the long list of liberals who want employers to do as they say, not as they do:
Salon routinely criticizes companies that offer unpaid internships. It also offers unpaid internships at Salon.
Union stalwart and former congressman David Bonior (D., Mich.) fought strenuously to raise the minimum wage. Now that he runs two restaurants where he only pays his (non-union) workers the tip wage of $2.36 an hour (they make more after tips).
