The New Yorker Union Votes to Authorize Strike Ahead of Magazine’s Annual Festival; Condé Nast ‘Disappointed to See This Tactic’
The New Yorker Union voted to authorize a strike just weeks before the Condé Nast magazine's annual festival amid a dispute with management.
The union representing editorial workers at the New Yorker, the storied Condé Nast-owned magazine, on Thursday announced its members had unanimously voted to authorize a strike against the employer as they seek a new deal. Separately, in December of last year, the New Yorker let go popular humorist Andy Borowitz — who interviewed “Weird Al” Yankovic at the mag’s 2023 festival — amid a larger wave of cost-cutting and layoffs at Condé Nast. The lineup is scheduled to feature Rachel Maddow, Seth Meyers, The National, Sara Bareilles, Audra McDonald, Alan Cumming, Julianne Moore, Jean Smart, Liz Cheney, Atul Gawande, and more.
