Condé Nast Fires Union Leaders Amid Consolidation

This month, Condé Nast fired four union-affiliated journalists after they protested mass layoffs at Teen Vogue, which was largely absorbed into Vogue.com and shed most of its politics staff. At the same time, CBS dissolved its Race and Culture Unit amid broader staff cuts and leadership changes, and critics say these moves reflect accelerating media consolidation and alleged anti-union, diversity-targeted actions that threaten newsroom plurality and political reporting.
