Condé Nast employees won union recognition Friday from their company, making workers at iconic, glossy titles such as Vogue and GQ the latest to join a wave of unionization across the media industry.
The Condé Nast union covers more than 500 U.S.-based employees: a majority of the editorial, production and video workers at 11 publications, including Vanity Fair, Bon Appétit, Allure Architectural Digest and Condé Nast Entertainment, the company’s in-house production studio.According to the NewsGuild, nearly 80 percent of eligible employees submitted union cards Friday as part of a “card check.
The company and these workers will now begin bargaining over employment conditions, which could include everything from wages to benefits. Four other publications previously unionized at Condé. “After productive conversations with the NewsGuild over the past few months, we have agreed to voluntarily recognize four new editorial and business units," a Condé Nast spokesman said in a statement Friday."We’re looking forward to working together on our collective bargaining agreements following successful contracts with The New Yorker, Ars Technica and Pitchfork unions and the pending contract with WIRED.
“I’ve seen multiple times where you’ll have a co-worker you’ve worked with for a long time — maybe over a year — and then you’ll find out you’re staff and they’re not, and it makes no sense because they have the same roles and responsibilities,” said Ben Dewey, a Condé Nast Entertainment cameraman. “It’s surprising they don’t have the same protections you do.”
“A lot of our problems exist across our industry and we hope that other companies and workplaces take notice,” Jess Lane, a subcontractor for Condé Nast Entertainment, said in a statement.Broad efforts to unionize in the media industry come during a tumultuous period of layoffs, pay cuts and corporate consolidation.
