Forbes Union statement: As you may have read, the New York Times reported that former Forbes EIC Randall Lane accepted $6 million from RJ Shook, a business partner of Forbes, which led to his firing. Randall Lane consistently stood against the Forbes Union during his tenure. The Forbes Union reaffirms our demand for fair raises that we’ve been denied for years while our editor collected millions of dollars in secret payments. We demand management share more details of what they knew, when they knew it, if this is the only secret payment Randall Lane received, and why they refused to disseminate more information to employees.

Solidarity,

We put down our counterproposal for fair Just Cause this week with the majority of our unit at the table to support it — but not our CEO, who declined to attend bargaining. Read our full bargaining update for more, including the shocking healthcare increases we're being asked to shoulder:

We returned to bargaining on Monday to present the fair Just Cause counterproposal the workers of TMP deserve – many of those same workers came to the table in support. This proposal is foundational to our contract and absolutely critical to our members. It’s disappointing that while many of us (almost 70% of our unit!) made the effort to attend, our CEO did not. We are deeply invested in the future of TMP, and the Just Cause language we codify in our final contract has serious implications for that future. We invited Katrice to this session both in our previous shop paper and in follow up communications in the hopes that she, as the leader of the company’s long-term strategy and vision, would be a part of the conversation around Just Cause and listen directly to our concerns and demands. Management’s counsel, Eddie, declined on her behalf.

Throughout the bargaining session, Eddie cited hypothetical scenarios, rather than directly addressing the working conditions at TMP. It would have been both productive and effective to instead speak with Katrice to address these scenarios with real context and specifics. Eddie repeatedly clarified that he, as the lead spokesperson of management’s bargaining committee, discusses and evaluates all proposals directly with senior leadership including our CEO.

Management argues that our unique unwritten editorial guidelines make us an exception to industry-standard fair Just Cause. In reality, this argument protects their ability to invent and arbitrarily enforce those guidelines to then discipline and discharge workers as they see fit. What management fails to acknowledge is that the tenets of Just Cause embody the mission of our organization, the legacy of Thurgood Marshall, and the stories we tell. Fair Just Cause is the standard of fairness that we deserve in return.

Following our Just Cause counter, we asked questions about the tumultuous state of healthcare and pressed management on the status of our Quotas and Metrics pr…

✊ Just Cause / “Discipline and Discharge”
Our initial Just Cause proposal – which relied on the industry-standard language “there shall be no discipline or dismissal without just and sufficient cause,” used by newsrooms including The New York Times, Reuters, and the Chicago Tribune – was countered by management with an alarming response in March. Their counter included loopholes allowing them to combine or even skip disciplinary steps and placed an incredibly high burden of proof on employees in the arbitration process, effectively making workers guilty until proven innocent. This is a regressive process, one that we rejected with our new counterproposal on Monday. Our counter enumerates the acceptable steps of progressive discipline and clarifies communication expectations. At its core, the counter relies on the seven tests of Just Cause. These tests already give supervisors the clear ability to discipline and terminate workers, as long as they follow due process. Management’s attempt to codify loopholes and undefined guidelines on top of these long-established legal tests is an unacceptable attempt to retain enormous subjective power to discipline and discharge workers. We remain committed to fair Just Cause and call on management to do the same.

🚑 Healthcare
As you’re all aware, the cost of our United Health Care insurance plans provided by TriNet have increased for the second year in a row and the burden is being shouldered by employees. While we understand that the landscape of healthcare in America is complex, it’s insulting to sit across from management’s counsel and hear him insist that our care is not being downgraded. Many of our workers are now weighing major medical decisions – like how to continue to care for their families, if they can still afford to proceed with scheduled surgeries – against what would amount to a substantial pay cut. Any employee above the Basic EPO plan will have to cover 100% of the premium increase out of their own pocket, leading in some cases to out-of-pocket healthcare costs skyrocketing to more than $15,000 annually for members on the Standard Family plan. Management’s decision to shift extra costs onto employees punishes those with the most need, like people with families or chronic conditions, by allowing their premiums to increase by the greatest factor. And as workers making less money than managers, these costs are often even harder for us to absorb.

Management insists that these changes are not a violation of status quo, because they have continued to contribute the same maximum dollar amount toward employee healthcare plans as they did before we began bargaining. It is the position of the workers of TMP that this constitutes a violation of status quo because our plan design, scope of coverage, and employee cost have all changed. The employer-covered healthcare the vast majority of us were promised in hiring has lost almost all of its value. Employees who paid nothing out of pocket in Fall 2024 for the UHC Standard plan are now offered the lesser UHC Basic plan for Fall 2026 unless they cover the difference out of pocket. This is a significant downgrade in standard of care for those who elect to remain on the employer-covered plan and a sharp cut in compensation…

📈 Quotas & Metrics
Management wholesale rejected our three previous proposals on Quotas and Metrics. When pressed again at the table on Monday about why, Eddie cited an earlier written rejection. He said if they did choose to respond, they would do so in the context of our Just Cause counterproposal. This is concerning as we believe any quotas, metrics or “expectations” for output may affect numerous aspects of our working conditions: workload, assignments, hours, etc., not just discipline. Eddie said that bargaining does not mean that they are required to offer us a counterproposal, only that they have to speak to their reasoning for rejecting proposals.

Work Authorization
We put down a counter on Work Authorization, which was formerly the Visas and Immigration proposal. We renamed the counter to better reflect the scope of the proposal, which isn’t limited to visas. In our newly proposed language, we responded to several of management’s concerns and refined the proposal to clarify required communication. We’ll wait to see how management responds.

That’s all for updates today. Thanks to every worker who showed up in support of fair Just Cause, and to those who were sending support in our own channels. We’ll be back at the bargaining table next week on Thursday, August 6, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET.
