> Our decision to unionize comes at a moment when much of what defines The New Yorker—its atmosphere of deliberation and care and its devotion to factual accuracy, careful prose, and expert design—is vulnerable to competing priorities from our corporate parent, Condé Nast. We are determined to do everything we can to protect the health and the integrity of our publication from staff cuts and reorganizations handed down by corporate management without warning or transparency. It seems like one of their worries is about Condé Nast taking a more direct role over the publication. > We are asking Condé Nast to recognize our union, and we look forward to beginning an amicable collective-bargaining process.
