We should ALL be reaching out to reporters so we can expose Viacom’s mistreatment of employees. Journalists aren’t capitalizing on our grief, they’re trying to hold a company accountable for laying off hundreds during a PANDEMIC. Bob announced a $100 million COVID-19 relief fund to “help employees” when in reality it just looks like a tax write off. Project based employees who were working for years without benefits were laid off with zero severance. This company could have done better. Someone needs to shine a light on all of the empty promises. If the media doesn’t shame them, who will?

How we start unionize tell me Steps
Not sure if it would matter at all... our department was union and filled with per diems who according to their contract were suppose to be notified about being hired for a position after a year according to our collective bargaining agreement...many years later we were still working as per diems while CBS was taking advantage of our situations of not having to pay benefits, stock options etc and if we said a word about it simple solution would have been us getting laid off.... who would you recommend to report this to?
This got buried fast by a lot of copy/paste posts taken from earlier threads. Guess the execs got wind and wanted this driven to the bottom.
PREACH!!!!
Definitely! Wired.com staff just last week unionized with the News Guild of New York. Now's the time to do it.
Right on! We tried to do this years ago but Viacom snuffed out those voices. Similar to the protesters at Amazon & Google who walked out, those workers were all fired. There may never be a better time to unionize given all that’s at stake here. The fact that Bob the Bewilder and senior leadership are earning millions off the backs of employees is f—ing appalling.
