Forbes Employees Begin 3-Day Strike After 2 Years Without A Union Contract
- First-ever walkout at business magazine to begin on Thursday
- ‘They are dragging their feet and slow-walking’ process
Forbes Media employees are striking for the first time, protesting the lack of progress in collective bargaining more than two years since voting to join a union.
Unionized employees, including reporters, editors, designers and videographers, plan to start a work stoppage at 9 a.m. New York time on Thursday, and remain on strike through Monday, according to the Communications Workers of America’s NewsGuild. Staff voted in July 2021 to join the guild, part of a larger wave of organizing and activism that’s swept the media industry over the past decade.
