This week, Slate staff was notified that three employees—all members of the union—were being laid off. Each was a member of Slate’s podcast staff. With their departure, Slate is reducing its audio content, which includes job reductions for a number of contractors.
Slate Union's official statement:
We’ll be sharing the details soon, but here are just a handful of the major victories we’re celebrating: salary increases, higher salary minimums, more weeks of parental leave, increased severance pay, and more!
We’re especially excited about our brand new A.I. article. We earned meaningful protections for our unit members and can’t wait to share more in the coming weeks.
