New Yorker Management Voluntarily Recognizes Staffers' Union

Editorial staff voted to unionize last month

New Yorker management agreed to voluntarily recognize the union after staffers overwhelmingly voted in favor of forming one early last month.

The Condé Nast title joins a host of other publications that have recently unionized, including Gizmodo Media Group, Vox Media,  HuffPost, VICE, The Intercept, ThinkProgress, MTV News, Thrillist and Salon.

“After a series of productive conversations over several weeks between our representatives and the NewsGuild, we have agreed on a process to voluntarily recognize the New Yorker Union. We’re in this together,” editor David Remnick told staffers in an email.

Nearly 90 percent of the editorial staff at the publication voted to unionize with the NewsGuild of New York.
