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.

SAG-AFTRA stands in solidarity with the Condé United and NewsGuild of New York union members who were retaliated against for questioning the closure of Teen Vogue.
SAG-AFTRA stands in solidarity with the Condé United and NewsGuild of New York union members who were retaliated against for questioning the closure of Teen Vogue. Four Condé Nast staffers were fired and additional union members appear to have been suspended without pay following their participation in a federally protected activity — gathering at their workplace to inquire about the Teen Vogue layoffs. When institutions that hire journalists infringe on their employee’s right to collective action it calls into question those institutions’ commitment to inquiry and journalistic integrity. It also threatens all unionized journalists and their ability to speak truth to power. SAG-AFTRA reminds Condé Nast that collective action is a federally protected right. We join in solidarity with journalists as well as our union siblings in demanding the terminated employees be reinstated.

This evening, I stood with the hardworking New Yorkers of CWA District 1 and the NewsGuild of New York as they fight for fair treatment from Conde Nast.

I'll always support our unions and our workers.

How did a relatively standard union action spiral into four terminations and even more suspensions? Just ask the executives at Condé Nast.

We sent a message to management today with a Slack icon change. More than half of our union participated and are demanding management reinstate the four people who were unjustly fired.

Ready to show your own support? Reach out to Condé Nast management telling them to reinstate the fired four.

On Wednesday, in the dead of night, Condé Nast unjustly and illegally fired four employees. Read more from our colleagues @condeunion.bsky.social and @nyguild.bsky.social about what happened, and what comes next.
Statement from The NewsGuild of New York and Conde 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 Nast's actions are in direct violation of our contracts and of labor law. Solidarity with our unjustly fired colleagues across the company. This is not over.
