Far Left Youtube Network The Young Turks Bars Its Workers From Forming A Union

Keneci Channel.

A twitter handle purporting to represent the staff at the socialist network announced Februrary 12 on Twitter that they have formed a union.

This decision did not go down well with TYT leadership which refused to recorgnize the union.

In a tweet a week after they unionized 'TYTUnion' lamented the decision by the leadership to not voluntarily recorgnize the union:

@TYTUnion: When we announced our decision to go union with @IATSE over a week ago, we had hoped @TheYoungTurks would respect our choice and voluntarily recognize our union. We are dismayed to report that they have refused. #TYTlive 

The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), the parent organization of TYT Union, also tweeted.

"This is a disappointing decision from an organization that presents itself as progressive,"  "Join us in telling [The Young Turks] to respect their so-called principles and respect their workers!"

The far left co-founder and host on the network Cenk Uygur reportedly berated emplyees in a recent meeting and warned that TYT is too small to sustain a unionized work force.

He reportedly threw papers to the ground in frustration at one point during the meeting. Employees were shocked and dismayed by his angry conduct.

Cenk Uygur and TYT network promote socialist policies and presidential candidates like Bernie Sanders who has threatened to punish companies who refuse to recorgnize unions, if elected president.

Conservative critics have pointed out the hypocrisy and dubiousness on display as TYT promote unions forming at other companies but rejecting 'TYTUnion.'

Google recently invested $500 000 in the far left network raising eyebrows in the media industry.
