And in New York City, the billionaire owner of the online news outlets Gothamist and DNAinfo has shut down the websites, one week after the newsrooms voted to unionize. Billionaire Joe Ricketts, who is also the owner of the Chicago Cubs, fired all 115 workers at Gothamist and DNAinfo. He’s long been an opponent of unions, even posting on his personal blog a commentary entitled “Why I’m Against Unions at Businesses I Create.” Both Gothamist and DNAinfo have been important local news sites in New York for years. Among the final articles to be published at Gothamist were an investigation into prison labor in New York and an article about rise of anti-Semitic attacks in New York City.
