Have you read the original Twitter thread + Google doc?

It shows conversations with and between the people involved and the author viewed Zoom recordings of their meetings (and references them). What other evidence are you looking for?

Evidence for what? They didn't even lay out a coherent rationale given the original accusations backed up by the rest of the staff.

The key accusation is "he fired employees for unionizing."

No it isn't lol. That isn't even their accusation.

It makes clear that no one was fired and no unionization was attempted.

They already had a union. NJR firing them was precipitated by him getting cold feet about collectivizing as a co-op. He then sent out messages asserting his status as The Boss, got pushback for reneging, and then started firing people, and it became a shitshow from there.

Dithering about whether he technically ๐Ÿค“ had the power to do so isn't particularly relevant unless someone is going to start suing. He used his position of power as the founder and active editor to start telling people they need to go and they reasonably understood he was firing them. Also, being at a small workplace where the main person wants you gone isn't exactly a great environment, especially when they are this incompetent, so I would've doubted anyone was super excited about suing to get their job back.
