Big Labor is meant as a pejorative. They're drawing parallels with Big Pharma and Big Oil on purpose. Fuck the NY Times.

What I don't understand is that these journalists are workers themselves. Why are they writing this shit ?

Because they're either being pressured to by management or they're victims of their own gaslighting. Either that or they're just really bad at important parts of their job..

The NYT who are no strangers to labor conflicts themselves. The same NYT who automatically take the side of the Israeli government and let cop pr reps dictate their crime coverage.
