Members of the Scholastic Union, which is represented by the NewsGuild of New York, participated in a one-day work stoppage on Wednesday. According to a press release, they are protesting “the company’s refusal to pay its workers fair wages, specifically its rejection of the Scholastic Union’s proposal for annual raises.” The union’s contract expired in May 2022, and the NewsGuild reports that employees have been bargaining since last October. The union, which represents 82 employees, held an afternoon rally outside of the company’s New York City headquarters.
