    Media Criticism Corner:

    Gizmodo links to the NYT article where this was first reported: Amazon Reaches Labor Deal, Giving Workers More Power to Organize

    comparing the headlines between Gizmodo and NYT is rather interesting. the framing of the NYT headline makes it sound like this might be a deal that Amazon reached voluntarily, rather than something the NLRB forced them to do. in their headline, Amazon is "giving" workers more power to organize. how generous of them.
