Hasn't the Writers' Guild Always been Associated with the Communist Party US?

HuffPost lays off dozens of staffers


By John Bowden - 06/14/17

News outlet HuffPost — previously known as the Huffington Post — laid off 39 staffers on Wednesday, a move that follows parent company AOL's acquisition by telecom giant Verizon.
The layoffs come as new editor-in-chief Lydia Polgreen is "assembling a newsroom leadership team," according to a HuffPost article reporting on the layoffs. Arianna Huffington, who founded the site in 2005 as the Huffington Post, left the outlet in August.

The 39 employees were represented by the Writers' Guild of America, which released a statement that was tweeted by HuffPost's media reporter. It states that fired employees will receive a severance package including benefits that will last for two months plus one week for each year the employee has been with the company.
