Our strike is imminent, and we’ve launched a new site where you can learn more. @NewYorker runs on union labor, and there are as many reasons to fight for a fair contract as there are members of our shop. In our own words, learn why we are ready to strike: newyorkerunion.com We demand fair pay, reasonable health-care costs, work-life balance, and job security. We also need @CondeNast and @NewYorker management to engage in good-faith bargaining. newyorkerunion.com

We’re back at the bargaining table tomorrow, and we’ve told @newyorker and @condenast management that we expect them to bring a serious counter to our wage proposal—one that will let us begin remedying decades of low, stagnant, irregular pay. The following testimonies from current and former employees provide just a peek at some of the problems we’re fighting to fix:

Today we’re releasing a summary of our recent pay study. Based on data @CondeNast supplied in September, 2020, the study is a snapshot of our union at a moment in time, but its findings resonate with many present and past @NewYorker employees’ experiences. newyorkerunion.com The main conclusion of our analysis is that ​most unionized employees of @NewYorker​ are underpaid​, many severely so. Here are some other takeaways: newyorkerunion.com/pay-study

Today @newyorkerunion is undertaking a half-day work stoppage. We demand a contract that reflects the value of our labor and the principles in our pages, and the foundation of that contract is #JustCauseNoExceptions. Just cause is an essential labor protection and among the core reasons we organized our union. Today, we are withholding our labor to protest management’s resistance to our proposal. #JustCauseNoExceptions
