Union members from Condé Nast, the media giant behind notable brands such as Vanity Fair, Vogue, and GQ, initiated a 24-hour walkout in New York City amid talks of laying off 20% of unionized staff. Nearly 400 unionized staff members participated in the work stoppage to protest what they describe as 'regressive bargaining practices' and 'unlawful bargaining tactics' by the company's management during these negotiations. The walkout coincided with the announcement of Oscar nominations, a high-profile event covered extensively by Condé Nast publications. In response to the walkout, Condé Nast reportedly revoked the staff's access to their Slack and work emails.

Hey Conde Nast employees--a 24-hour walkout of a magazine company is one of the most inadvertently hilarious acts of pointless "we'll show you" activism in the history of moron activism. No wonder the company is losing its shirt.
