Buzzfeed News has once again found itself amid trouble in its own space. According to Buzzfeed’s Union, the Union and its many members are ready to walk out of work over the fact that pay still sucks but execs are getting richer. The Union revealed on Thursday that officials at Buzzfeed are in fact preparing to take the company public making its controversial and often not-so-creative executives richer.
We've been bargaining our contract for almost 2 years, but BuzzFeed won't budge on critical issues like wages — all while preparing to go public and make executives even richer.

So TODAY, we're walking out to send a reminder that there's no BuzzFeed News without us. #BFNWalksOut pic.twitter.com/3xNDUVzwTh
