"Condé Nast had violated our collective bargaining agreement and broken labor law dozens of times, but it had never attempted something as reckless as illegally firing union leaders."
"Six years after my joining The New Yorker 's storied fact-checking department, my career was reduced to a three-sentence e-mail."
"Thankfully, this lack of justification was quickly filled by an outpouring of support from colleagues, frustrated messages that underscored the arbitrary nature of the ouster."
A longtime copyeditor at The New Yorker retired, prompting a celebration among staff. Shortly after, a union representative informed a former vice chair of the New Yorker Union about their firing. The dismissal was attributed to 'gross misconduct and policy violations,' but lacked justification. This action was seen as a violation of labor laws and collective bargaining agreements. Colleagues expressed their support, highlighting the arbitrary nature of the firing and the broader implications for union rights.
