BuzzFeed News employees are planning to stage a walkout Monday, according to people familiar with the matter, just days after a similar protest by staff at Vox Media led to that company’s first labor agreement.
BuzzFeed’s U.S. journalists agreed to unionize in February, saying they would seek better benefits and fair pay after seeing some colleagues lose their jobs the prior month. Since then, they’ve been calling on BuzzFeed’s management to recognize their union.
