What would Edward G. Robinson say about the management here?

Reuters Guild
@ReutersGuild
More than 300 @Reuters
journalists across the United States are stopping work today for a
24-hour walkout. We do not take this decision lightly, but we're
prepared to avail ourselves of all our legal rights to secure the contract
we deserve.
...
For 20 months, we've been pressing for a new contract with serious
diversity targets for the newsroom, a ban on NDAs that cover up harassment
and discrimination, guaranteed wage increases that keep up with inflation,
and more.
.....
That stinginess is especially galling considering @ThomsonReuters
announced it's financially comfortable enough to spend $2 billion
buying back its own stock and another $2 billion on dividends, to the
benefit of shareholders and executives.

Ah, but if that Mexican bus plunges in Toh-kee-yo,
then NHK would cover it!

And there's no telling what that would do to the broader-based TOPIX.
