I don’t blame the workers for the constraints of their garbage company. I doubt they can just pick what they want to write about, they’re ultimately working to survive and taking the jobs on offer. Plus, systematic pressures on mass media are a whole thing.

If the workers get a pay rise, it digs into Nine Publishing’s egregeous profits. There’s also the broader impact of successful strike action on the rest of the labour movement in our fights for decent conditions. Solidarity is strength.
