We're prob not gonna hit our goal before we end the GoFundMe later today... but we are close to hitting $10K! If you could help us get the rest of the $450 or so toward that amount, it'd be rad.

It sucks to lose your job with no warning and through no fault of your own.

This comes just a few weeks after Vox Media laid off roughly a dozen people, including one who was on parental leave. At the same time, Vox announced that it would dismantle its dedicated DEI team. bsky.app/profile/voxm...

Another year, another round of layoffs at Vox Media. In solidarity with our laid-off colleagues, here is our full statement:

Today, Friday, January 16, 2026, the Vox Media Union received news from management about more layoffs at the company: three in-unit workers from PopSugar, two from The Verge, and three from Eater — not including a number of out-of-unit employees — some of whom were on parental and other types of company-approved leave.

Beyond this, the company announced that it will no longer have a centralized Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI+) team, redistributing that work across the People team and leadership, and keeping Employee Resource Groups as simply Slack spaces without formal lead roles or any standalone budgets.

There is almost no further room to be shocked at these developments, as the company has laid off workers at an average of once per quarter in the last year, but we continue to be disgusted by the fact that leadership seems to have developed no real learning or commitment to workforce sustainability and retention. Those at the top remain safe in their positions while mercilessly cutting off those who work day in and day out (and then some) to make sure that essential, business-critical work is done.

Our indispensable colleagues are now in extra vulnerable positions, having to navigate workplace bureaucracy alongside a volatile job market and relentless threats to the integrity of journalism as a whole. This union is proud to have rallied in multiple rounds of contract bargaining to ensure more equitable worker rights and protections in the face of management incompetence. As always, we, along with our Guild reps, will continue to demand that members are treated fairly in the aftermath of layoffs.

Details on how you can support laid-off workers at Vox Media will be forthcoming. Please follow the Vox Media Union on Instagram (@voxmediaunion) and Bluesky (@voxunion.bsky.social). Solidarity forever.

This is a brand new campaign, so yes, it is still active, and yes, as it says in the screenshot, it's being run by departing Eater union members.

the degradation / dismantling of Eater is such a damn shame. in a world of influencer- and bot-skewed restaurant ratings, googling "eater [city]" provided guidance from passionate locals with good taste; it was a cheat code for eating well wherever you traveled

Ugh. This much chaos and confusion cannot be good for any company, especially a media company.

Less than 3 months ago, Vox Media was celebrating Eater for having nabbed 6 nominations at the James Beard Media Awards! Ashok Selvam received the 2025 Local Voice Award for his work at Eater Chicago. He was laid off today.

Pre-downloaded content should be fine! Just don't download any content, new or old, and don't stream any content from us during any potential strike. Thank you!

Vox Media Union @voxmediaunion.bsky.social · 13/06/2025

Thank you for subscribing! The longest strike in digital media history only lasted 13 days. We don't anticipate striking for longer than that (and ideally we won't have to strike at all), so assuming you've already paid your monthly fee, all you need to do is just save those articles for later!

Our contract doesn't expire until midnight ET tonight. Our Bargaining Committee is working tirelessly until the end to try and *avoid* a strike. This vote means that we as a unit have decided to strike if no new agreement is reached (and/or the existing contract doesn't get extended) by midnight.
