Slate Writers Are 'Prepared' to Strike

The liberal magazine Slate is prepared to go on strike. Their union tweeted out the results of their strike authorization vote, which was nearly unanimous.

The union, which is affiliated with the Writers’ Guild of America East, goes on to explain that they are especially enraged by the management's inclusion of a right-to-work clause in their contract, which they claim is intended to undermine their legitimacy. 

The workers insist they want to "make the strongest, best Slate possible."
