Gawker: “Some of us on the Gawker Media editorial staff have decided to try to unionize. Here’s a brief explanation. I will say first of all that I’d prefer not to be writing this story yet, because the organizing effort is still in the early stages. It would be easier to have this conversation internally. But Gawker Media is, for better or worse, a company with a rich history of gossip. Yesterday, a large group of editorial staffers representing many of our websites met with union organizers at the Writers Guild in New York.”
