Condé Nast filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board against the NewsGuild of New York after the company fired four employees of around 20 employees who confronted its human resources department over the layoffs and restructuring of Teen Vogue. The company accused the NewsGuild of New York, which oversees the employee union Condé United, in its complaint of the union’s “repeated and egregious disregard of our collective bargaining agreement.” The complaint came after about 20 employees — including Jasper Lo, a senior fact checker at The New Yorker; Jake Lahut, a senior politics reporter for WIRED; Alma Avalle, a digital staffer at Bon Appétit; and Ben Dewey, a video staffer with Condé Nast Entertainment — confronted Condé Nast’s head of human resources, Stan Duncan, over the company’s decision to fold Teen Vogue into its sister magazine Vogue. The move resulted in the layoffs of Teen Vogue’s editor in chief and six unionized staffers.
