The Controversy Continues at Conde Nast - Poynter

"On Wednesday, more than a dozen employees gathered outside the office of Stan Duncan, Condé Nast's head of human resources, demanding to speak with him about the Teen Vogue decision, and other recent cuts at the company. Duncan told staff that they could not be congregating outside his office, and asked them to return to work. When he tried to leave, one employee asked Duncan if he was running away from the unionized employees."

"A member of the union implied that the decision to fold Teen Vogue into its parent magazine would impact the company's political coverage; one of the fired employees asked Duncan what he planned on doing to stand up to the Trump administration. Duncan reportedly said, "We'd like you to move forward." An employee who was later fired reportedly said back, "We'd like you to answer our questions.""

""These egregious terminations are a flagrant breach of the Just Cause terms of our contract and an unprecedented violation of their federally protected rights as union members to participa"

Condé Nast announced that Teen Vogue will be folded into Vogue, leading to layoffs including Teen Vogue's editor-in-chief. More than a dozen employees gathered outside Stan Duncan's office, demanding answers about the Teen Vogue decision and other recent cuts. Company HR asked staff to disperse, and a confrontation ensued in which an employee asked if Duncan was "running away" from unionized staff. Four Condé United leaders — Alma Avalle, Jake Lahut, Jasper Lo, and Ben Dewey — were abruptly fired. The NewsGuild of New York and Condé United called the terminations a breach of Just Cause and a violation of federally protected union rights.
