Like many contemporary publications unions, Condé Nast Union is fighting potential layoffs to kick off the new year. According to Hollywood Reporter more than 400 staff across Condé Nast's brands will be walking out tomorrow in protest of a proposed 5% workforce cut and in an effort to bring Condé Nast to the bargaining table (Condé Nast Union has been in bargaining for a year and a half with no contract). The strike coincides with the 96th Academy Awards—and this is very much an intentional choice, as the Awards are generally covered heavily by Condé Nast publications.
As a part of the strike, the Condé Nast Union is asking you to not use any of the following websites, and to not boost any of the links/social media accounts of the following publications for the duration of January 23:
- GQ
- Vanity Fair
- Bon Appétit
- Architectural Digest
- Vogue
- Allure
- Glamour
- Epicurious
- Self
- Condé Nast Traveler
- Them
- Teen Vogue
