NEW YORK — Unionized editorial staff at Fortune have won their first contract for both digital and print employees, a deal that lifts wages a total of 11% for the life of the deal, sets new salary standards, provides job security protections and more.
Fortune Union, which represents nearly two dozen writers, reporters, producers, editors and artists, unanimously ratified the collective bargaining agreement that now covers both the remaining print employees carried over from Fortune’s former ownership under Time Inc., as well as the digital employees who organized in 2019.
“We are so excited to finally have a fair contract after a long battle,” said Sasha Rogelberg, Fortune Union’s unit chair. “Our union has repeatedly come together in tough times — including after a mass layoff over the summer reduced our unit size by one-third — to fight for the well-being of our newsroom. The efforts to secure this contract were no exception.”
