Over 400 Cond\u00e9 Nast Employers Stage a Walkout <\/strong>
\nOn Tuesday, more than 400 employees from Cond\u00e9 Nast, the parent company of prestigious publications including Vanity Fair, Vogue, and GQ, staged a historic 24-hour walkout and work stoppage in response to the company’s plan to lay off staff. According to the NewsGuild of New York, the walkout is the result of \u201cunlawful handling of layoff negotiations and bad-faith bargaining,\u201d during the Pitchfork merger into GQ a few weeks ago. Protests on social media echoed the sentiment, with slogans like “bosses wear Prada, workers get nada!” \u2014 a reference to The Devil Wears Prada<\/em> movie that riffed off characterizations of Anna Wintour. Anne Hathaway<\/a>, who played Mia Thermopolis in the movie, showed solidarity by walking out of a Vanity Fair set<\/a>. The protest follows numerous negotiations between the company and the union after Cond\u00e9 Nast announced a 5% reduction in its workforce. Subsequently, the media conglomerate revised its plans, indicating the layoff of 94 unionized members, constituting around 20% of the Cond\u00e9 Nast Union. In January, the company affirmed its commitment to the 94 layoffs while nearly halving the proposed severance, as reported by CNN. Ben Dewey, vice chair of the CNE unit of the Cond\u00e9 Nast Union, emphasized, “Our 24-hour walkout is about standing firmly behind our colleagues and showing Cond\u00e9 Nast management that we will not tolerate their disrespect at the bargaining table regarding these layoffs. It is time to start bargaining in good faith with us.” The NewsGuild of New York has filed an unfair labor practice claim on behalf of the Cond\u00e9 Nast Union, citing regressive bargaining.
