After a prolonged period of negotiations, Condé Nast has reached a tentative agreement with its union, representing hundreds of staffers across various publications including Vanity Fair, Ars Technica, Wired, and Vogue. This agreement comes just in time to avert a planned strike at the Met Gala, which had threatened to disrupt the event. The union had escalated its actions by setting up a GoFundMe page and picketing at the museum, warning of a significant disruption if their demands were not met. The deal was announced on the day of the Met Gala, marking the union's first contract with the company.
