Southern Poverty Law Center Terminates a Quarter of its Staff, Outraging Union
“We are devastated for our union and our colleagues”
What a shame. Just kidding. The SPLC is nothing more than a scam used to smear opponents of the left.
The Daily Signal reports:
MELTDOWN: SPLC Terminates a Quarter of Staff, ‘Decimates’ 3 Departments, Union Claims
The far-left smear factory the Southern Poverty Law Center reportedly terminated a quarter of its staff Wednesday, weakening and perhaps eliminating two of its departments amid a restructure that heavily hit its union members.
The SPLC “gutted its staff by a quarter,” the organization’s union posted on X. (Yes, this nonprofit organization has its own labor union. If staff get tired of protesting Alliance Defending Freedom, they can protest management, instead.) The SPLC told more than 60 union members, including five union stewards and the union’s chair, that they would be losing their jobs.
“We are devastated for our union and our colleagues,” the union posted.
The SPLC confirmed the news to The Alabama Reflector, though it did not respond to a request for comment from The Daily Signal.
“We announced internally the consolidation of certain programs and activities as well as the elimination of others, resulting in staff reductions,” the center said. The SPLC aims “streamline our activities and operations to strengthen our ability to advance a multiracial, inclusive democracy and ground our work in the perspectives and priorities of communities most affected by human rights violations.”
Today, @splcenter – an organization with nearly a billion dollars in reserves, given an F rating by CharityWatch for “hoarding” donations – gutted its staff by a quarter.

I hope that this budget cut is due to a massive drop in contributions.!
The UNION is upset. Good!

b/c true right wing hate groups number less than 5

The Poverty Pimps did promise their former slaves the following:

“We bargained real hard and won the right to begin bargaining!”
Reminiscent of the Washington Post glitterati complaining that the white knights brought in to salvage their shit management and save all their precious paychecks were… white males. “If we just persist in our destructive fantasy, things will somehow work out just fine!”
You left out white males without the authority to actually save the day because if they try to do anything to save the corporation there will be a staff revolt and short term loss and they haven’t been given authority to fire the staff and take a temporary loss as they reorient the Washington Post.
Lets hope SPLC goes bankrupt to.
“We are devastated for our union and our colleagues”
No mention of all those poor — er — poor people they won’t be able to serve now. Oh, who am I kidding. The SPLC isn’t *for* them; they’re just the fodder.
