A statement from Wired's Conde Union Members

I was one of the four people who got canned. In the interim, you can subscribe to my newsletter, Straight From The Hut. No paywall, but feel free to choose the pay to support model. I'm not going anywhere — the show goes on, and I'll be back on MSNBC Saturday night. straightfromthehut.substack.com

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.

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:

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.

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

🧵CONDE NAST SQUID GAMES: Today Conde Nast held a company-wide meeting. Nearly a week in advance, our members submitted a list of questions about the future of the company, RTO policies, and enforcement and staffing; we received no answers.

BRINGIN’ THE HEAT: We have filed a grievance against @CondeNast over management’s disregard for worker safety during last week’s heat wave. (1/5)

🧵 A ‘WARM SUMMER DAY;” Despite @GovKathyHochul’s state of emergency declaration @CondeNast management is refusing to give our members the safety to work remotely and avoid dangerous commuting. …. 1/3

Nothing says "we know what we're doing" like three rounds of layoffs in six months...

The #MetGala is fashion’s biggest party, but it wouldn’t be possible without Condé Nast’s unionized employees. A dandy night for celebrities is made possible by overworked and underpaid employees.

The #metgala isn’t Superfine for the Condé Nast employees who are required to work overtime without fair pay — or covering for their colleagues who have been laid off.

We are appalled, but not surprised, by Condé Nast’s layoff of four union members last week, which marks the third time in less than a year that layoffs have impacted our union as well as many of our colleagues outside of the bargaining unit. (1/8)

The Condé Union is flooding the office today to ask the company to commit to a truly hybrid, flexible work schedule. We want a safe workplace with adequate desk space. We want management to respect the health and safety language in our contract.

Condé Nast management will start requiring employees to be in the office 4 days a week on 3/3, allegedly to make us more productive. Yet for months, many of us have gone without desks, often being forced to work from the cafeteria, HR floor or hallways.

i’ve been WFH since 2017–long before it was the norm. i’m more productive, i’m happier, i’m more ambitious as a WFH employee. offices can be nice for camaraderie. but they’re full of distractions (talking coworkers, clicking pens) that burn a hole in my ADHD brain. in-office is more expensive too!

Wired and other Conde outlets are valuable resources. Sad to hear that Conde doesn’t seem to feel the same about their employees.

for the last year, management at CN have refused to provide us enough desks for everyone to work in office. now, despite the space concerns, they are targeting people randomly for flex-work agreements, including a few that predate the pandemic!! we're organizing to push back

Journalism gets worse when reporters are chained to their desks for no good reason and not allowed the flexibility to do their jobs. That's just science.

I literally cannot emphasize this enough

Condé staff work overtime to break news about Elon Musk’s government takeover at WIRED, develop new recipes at @bonappetit.bsky.social + cover the Grammys for Vanity Fair. We go beyond for our jobs, but Condé Nast is making us commute 4x/week just to check a box—& can’t even provide enough workspace

WHAT IS THE PLAN, Condé Nast? On 12/2/24, Condé CEO Roger Lynch announced we'd be returning to the office 4 x/week starting 3/3/25. He said the company would soon share "more information on space," because so few of us have desks or designated places to work. It's 2/14 and we haven't heard a word.

As of 3/3, @CondeNast is enforcing a 4-day Return To Office policy to enhance “productivity." This plan will have the opposite effect. We have detail-oriented jobs that operate on tight deadlines. Condé sold office space during the pandemic, so most of us don’t have our own desks.

Hi! We're the Condé union—400+ editorial workers across Allure, Architectural Digest, Ars Technica, Bon Appétit, Condé Nast Entertainment, Condé Nast Traveler, Epicurious, Glamour, GQ, Pitchfork, SELF, Teen Vogue, Them, Vogue + Wired. We're organizing w/@nyguild.bsky.social to build a better Condé.
