The Forbes editorial staff, represented by The Forbes Union, are walking out on the job Tuesday — the same day the financial publication plans on releasing its trademark “30 Under 30” lists. The walkout comes amid ongoing negotiations between the union and Forbes management over salaries and raises.
Founded in 2021, The Forbes Union represents about 100 writers, editors, and other editorial staffers at the outlet. Tuesday’s walkout was first reported by Fox News.
The Union is currently looking for a $75,000 wage floor, 8% annual raises, and 15% raises, at minimum, for promotions; they also want bonus pay for working weekends and overtime.
