One thing I cherished during my time at HuffPost was the opportunity to serve on the @huffpostunion.bsky.social contract team. In January, after months of negotiation (and a strike pledge signed by 100% of our ~70-member union) we secured a fair deal – including dignified layoff rules! ✊

Just before layoffs, @buzzfeed.com management reversed its policy of paying out unused PTO to laid off employees. Because @huffpostunion.bsky.social codified the previous policy, union members will be paid out. I urge BuzzFeed management to pay non-union employees for the PTO they earned

Vox Media Union @voxmediaunion.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

We are extremely disappointed with SB Nation's decision to layoff staff at its popular YouTube hub Secret Base. Not only is this a blow to a talented team, it undercuts the creator-driven and subscription-driven models of sustainability that Vox Media has been trying to cultivate. We must do better.

Today, the Vox Media Union learned three members at SB Nation’s Secret Base team have been let go, marking the third consecutive month of layoffs at Vox Media-owned brands.

As we and our colleagues at New York Magazine continue to make strides for our workers through bargaining, the company continues its death-by-a-thousand-cuts approach. These short-sighted actions from management have gutted our newsrooms and added to the ongoing uncertainty in the media industry. It is devastating to these individuals, and to our remaining staff, who are given few answers as to how downsizing is a sustainable practice moving forward.

Secret Base has been creator-led and personality-driven from its inception, exemplified by their successful community-funded Patreon, Top Secret Base. It will not be the same without these hard-working, experienced, smart, talented, and exceptionally creative employees. It is insulting to them for the company to describe these cuts as “necessary.”

The Writers Guild of America East and Vox Media Union will do everything we can to help and support the colleagues who are leaving us, just as we have supported our colleagues impacted by previous layoffs around the company. We continue the fight for transparency, equity, and protections in bargaining, where we set new standards for workers in the entire digital media industry.
