On Wednesday, Conde Nast management illegally fired four union leaders. While our union fights these illegal dismissals, the “Fired Four” have been left with no severance or COBRA coverage. Please donate to help cover their living expenses at the link below.

A statement from Wired's Conde Union Members

WIRED is doing some of the most impactful political reporting of this administration. That’s made possible by our subscribers, who signal to our employer, Conde Nast, that this work is worth protecting. Conde has never told us what to report and has stood behind our work, but it is also true that how a company treats its workers is political. The Conde Union has been working tirelessly to bring that same spirit of accountability to all of Conde Nast and must continue to do so. —WIRED’s Conde Union Members

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

Statement from The NewsGuild of New York and Condé United
on illegal firing of four union leaders who demanded answers about this week’s layoffs at Teen Vogue, other brands
Late Wednesday night, Condé Nast’s VP of Labor Relations notified the Guild that the Company was immediately terminating four Condé United leaders for engaging in the protected concerted activity of gathering in their 1 World Trade Center office to demand answers on this week’s abrupt layoffs at multiple brands including WIRED and the consolidation at Teen Vogue.
These egregious terminations are a flagrant breach of the Just Cause terms of our contract and an unprecedented violation of their federally protected rights as union members to participate in a collective action.
Through these illegal terminations, Condé Nast management is attempting to intimidate and silence our members' advocacy for the courageous cultural and political journalism of Teen Vogue, as well as diverting attention away from the obvious lack of corporate leadership at the company.
Condé United members illegally fired are:
Alma Avalle: Writer, digital producer at Bon Appetit; NewsGuild of New York first vice president, trans activist, and union leader
Jake Lahut: Wired senior reporter covering the Trump White House
Jasper Lo: Senior fact checker at The New Yorker and US Army veteran: outgoing first vice chair of The New Yorker Union
Ben Dewey: Videographer at Condé Nast Entertainment, former vice chair of the CNE unit
“Management’s attempt at union-busting, using intimidation and grossly illegal tactics to try to suppress protected union activity, will not stand,” said Susan DeCarava, president of The NewsGuild of New York. “The NewsGuild of New York has zero tolerance for bad bosses who harass, target and disrespect our fellow Guild members. We represent nearly 6,000 media workers across the tri-state area and we stand firmly in solidarity, ready to fight for the rights of our members illegally fired from their jobs at …

Condé leadership owes us--and Teen Vogue’s readership--answers. We will get those answers. And we fight for our rights as workers with a collective bargaining agreement as we fight for the work we do, and the people we do it for.

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

1832001001

It’s clear to us that management doesn’t have anything resembling a coherent plan forward other than to union-bust and passively fire our members. We won’t allow that to happen.

0356

Along with that, another wave of enforced RTO is putting more of our remote members in the impossible position—uproot their lives with little notice or be forced out.

1172

Just days ago we were told by @CondeNast management about the health of the company, that while it’s a challenging time for the media, it’s not a particularly scary time for us. So why MORE layoffs?

UNACCEPTABLE: Our members are flooding Slack, demanding answers after we were notified by Condé Nast management that they AGAIN want to lay off union members.

More than 130 of Stan, Roger, and Anna's employees showed up yesterday hoping to meet with their executives. The execs never RSVPed no, instead they stood us up. But we spent the time productively without them, and they will be hearing about the results of the meeting soon.

It did not. Our questions were not fully answered, and Roger and Stan's employees want to hear directly from their execs about issues that impact their work and lives. We hope to see them at tomorrow's Town Hall.

020

Shortly following these posts, Condé reached out to assert that a closed, last minute meeting last week between HR and a few union officers should have satisfied our members' desire to hear directly from Condé's chief executives.

111

As our members continue to receive RTO ultimatums (move to NY or lose your job), get their ADA requests denied, and struggle with empty roles remaining unfilled, this meeting proves especially important. If Stan and Roger don't attend, we'll post our questions for them instead.

120

Our lunch town hall is tomorrow! We invited Condé CEO Roger Lynch and Stan Duncan to come and answer our questions.

151

We will soon be inviting Roger and his co-execs to attend a union Town Hall to answer their employees’ questions in a more focused setting. We will get the answers we deserve.

Watching our well-paid executives perform this story as they deny our disability-accommodation requests and force us to move to the country’s most expensive city or lose our jobs adds insult to injury.

Instead, the company spent 10 minutes of the 40-minute meeting recreating Epicurious’s viral Squid Games video with CEO Roger Lynch and other members of management. Squid Games is a story about life-threatening wealth inequality.
