\n For the first\u00a0time in its 133 year history, Hearst Magazines have a unionized editorial workforce after voters opted to be represented by the Writers Guild of America East by nearly a 3 to 1 margin.<\/p>\n

The final tally was 241 votes in favor of the union and 83 votes against, according to the National Labor Relations Board, which supervised the vote that was\u00a0conducted on July\u00a029 via Zoom.<\/p>\n

The NLRB had rejected a Hearst bid to have 75 observers supervise the vote in person but the request was rejected due to concerns over the coronavirus. Instead, NLRB regional director John Walsh allowed only 40 observers each side via Zoom.<\/p>\n

There was an unusually\u00a0high number of contested ballots, 109 in total, but even if all had gone in favor of the company, the \u201cchallenges are not sufficient in number to affect the results of the election.<\/p>\n

One manager who was not a voter told the\u00a0Post he regarded the vote as a referendum on the leadership of former president Troy Young and his handpicked chief content officer Kate Lewis.<\/p>\n

Young was ousted from his job last week, after a report in the New York Times accused\u00a0him of crass and sexist behavior and of creating a \u201ctoxic culture\u201d at the company.<\/p>\n

But voting had already wrapp<\/a>ed up on July 13 while Young, a ligthening\u00a0rod of discontent for\u00a0many,\u00a0was still in charge of the magazine division.<\/p>\n

Hearst Magazines acting president Debi Chirichella, who was appointed to replace Young, seemed to strike a conciliatory tone. She noted that \u201ceight months ago, a group of editorial employees came seeking to form a union. Since that time, a lot has happened. We\u2019ve been faced with a global pandemic. We\u2019ve had our eyes opened wide to the racial injustice that continues to plague our country. And we\u2019ve experienced unprecedented change in the senior leadership of our division.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026Today the votes of the election were tallied by the National Labor Relations Board and we learned that our editorial employees elected for representation by the Writers Guild of America East. From here we expect contract negotiations to begin some time after the NLRB has certified the vote results.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
