“#The New Yorker’s editorial union workers stage walkout<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Roughly 100 staffers of The New Yorker magazine walked off their jobs on Thursday in protest of pay disparities. <\/p>\n

The walkout started at 6 a.m. Thursday and included copywriters, web production staff and other union employees. It\u2019s scheduled to last until 6 a.m. Friday and didn\u2019t include bylined staff writers, who aren\u2019t members of the union. <\/p>\n

Still, the protest stands to interrupt production of the prestigious title helmed by longtime editor-in-chief David Remnick, including its digital platform.\u00a0And it suggests trouble brewing over contract talks between the union, the News<\/a>Guild of New York, and management at the Conde Nast-owned weekly as they continue to hash out a proposal by the union to boost wages. <\/p>\n

The union on Thursday cited the magazine\u2019s \u201congoing failure to bargain in good faith and offensive and unacceptable response to the Guild\u2019s initial wage proposal,\u201d submitted in November. <\/p>\n

The union also released a survey Wednesday suggesting a wide pay disparity among non-writer editorial staffers at the magazine, particularly women of color. On average, the union claimed, the magazine pays its female staffers $7,000 a year less than their male counterparts. <\/p>\n

After two years of negotiations, the union said, it proposed a base salary of $65,000 a year with gradual pay hikes so that all editorial workers could survive in New York City, where the magazine is based. <\/p>\n

It claims the company countered with a proposal on Jan. 12 for a $45,000 base salary, which the union said is only $3,000 more than the lowest current full-time salaries. It said management also proposed retaining the right to decrease any union member\u2019s salary up to 20 percent at any time. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are fighting to eliminate decades of inequity and pay stagnation at Cond\u00e9 Nast,\u201d said <\/strong>Susan DeCarava, president of the NewsGuild of New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are devoted to fair pay all around,\u201d Conde Nast said in a statement. \u201cWe dispute certain conclusions of this study, and we are determined to get to an equitable agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the negotiations, Conde Nast countered that it has only held two bargaining sessions related to economics. \u201cThe union delivered a wage proposal at the end of 2020 and, in our first bargaining session of 2021, the company delivered a counter-proposal. These were, on both sides, initial offers. It is our hope that, as opposed to resorting to actions like this one, the union will bargain in good faith and return a counter-proposal, as is standard in negotiations. That way, we can work together productively to reach a final contract as quickly as possible.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
