I Stand with the New Yorker Union
Hello 👋🏻,
The New Yorker Union has been in ongoing negotiations with the magazine’s management for years, fighting for fair wages and contracts. Editorial workers are on the verge of a strike. Whether you are a fan, subscriber, or simply care about the ethics of the media you consume, you can help out by sending a quick note to Condé Nast execs. The Union has built a super-helpful tool where you can read up on the issues and send a quick templated note (or write your own) to management.
As a freelance contributor, I’m not a member of the union but I was honored to contribute this cartoon in support of their ongoing fight. I didn’t so much write this gag as much as echo the sentiments of union members and set it against the backdrop of a classic cartoon trope. Sometimes, these things fit together so neatly like puzzle pieces.
You can keep up with the union’s efforts on instagram and twitter. And don’t forget to send a note to show your support!
All the best,
Evan
