More than 100 employees of the New Yorker and two other Condè Nast publications staged a protest Tuesday evening calling for fair pay and job security outside publishing executive Anna Wintour's $12.5million home in Greenwich Village. .

The group was made up of unionized staff members and fact checkers for the weekly magazine along with staff from Condè Nast publications Ars Technica and and Pitchfork.

More than 100 staffers at the New Yorker, along with two other Condè Nast publications staged a protest Tuesday outside the Greenwich Village home of Anna Wintour calling for fair wages, among other demands.

The protest began at the New York University campus, and was organized on behalf of the NewsGuild of New York, which represents staff at the magazine in its negotiations with Condè Nast

The protest represented the highest-profile break down in talks between the New Yorker Union and Condè Nast since they began in 2018 shortly after roughly 100 of the magazine's staff, including copy editors and fact checkers organized with the NewsGuild. 

An email volley between the union and the company Monday night saw Condè Nast attempt to put a stop to the protest, with it writing, 'Targeting an individual’s private home and publicly sharing its location is not acceptable,' the Times reported

While Wintour does not directly oversee The New Yorker - author David Remnick has led the magazine since 1998 - as global editorial director for Condè Nast she is the most prominent figurehead of its publisher

The problem appears to stem from the condition, Vanity Fair reported, that the guild's members only start paying dues to the union once they have obtained a contract, which as evidenced by its dealings with Condè Nast, can take years.
