“Thousands of journalists across the country have been through their own union drives in the past five years or so. And it changes people…I mean, it obviously educates people and opens their eyes to how important labor is. And also you have people who are going through their own union busting campaigns. They're going through having to negotiate contracts with their own boss. And so it really has elevated the profile of unions in the news.”
