Today, our members distributed fliers outside the Forbes Iconoclast summit to let management know we deserve a fair contract. Four years into bargaining, Forbes is still proposing wages that do not keep up with inflation. Solidarity, Forbes Union

Official account for @Forbes’ editorial newsroom and video staff union with @NYGuild. Est. 2021. Yes, STILL bargaining.
On Sunday, our members placed flyers around Forbes Vice Chairman Mike Perlis’s hometown. Perlis has been absent from bargaining for years, despite our calls for fair wages and workplace protections. Management has no excuses. Forbes employees deserve a fair contract, and we will win one.
Our colleagues were back last weekend in the hometown of @forbes.com CEO Sherry Phillips to spread the news that she is a union buster who continues to deny our members a fair contract. 👎 @nyguild.bsky.social
Our fearless colleagues braved the snowstorm last weekend to visit the hometown of @forbes.com CEO Sherry Phillips and spread the news that she is a union buster who continues to deny our members a fair contract. 👎
Big takeaway from our 3rd annual pay study: Racial pay gaps at @forbes.com have worsened. White employees average $95,089, compared with $87,500 for Asian, $74,557 for Hispanic or Latino, and $71,438 for Black employees. READ THE STUDY HERE 👇 nyguild.org/post/racial-...
RACIAL PAY DISPARTY WORSENS AT FORBES, NEW UNION STUDY SHOWS

@forbes.com CEO Sherry Phillips hasn't been to a single bargaining session. Instead, she sends proxies who speak for her and this is the kind of thing that comes of it.
Can we talk about the illogic and short-sightedness of @forbes.com's temp workforce churn? This is on CEO Sherry Phillips and CCO @randalllane.bsky.social, who have not shown the kind of leadership the newsroom deserves. #journalism #journalismjobs #cheap #newsroom @nyguild.bsky.social
Wondering why @forbes.com, led by CEO Sherry Phillips and CCO @randalllane.bsky.social, has seen an exodus of talented journalists recently? This right here. #journalismjobs #journalists
@forbes.com mgt, led by CEO Sherry Phillips and CCO Randall Lane, have proposed 1.25% annual bumps for staff, not even keeping up with inflation--when many in the newsroom go YEARS without a raise. #journalismjobs @nyguild.bsky.social
Our fearless colleagues were outside the @forbes.com Power Women’s Summit in the rain ☔ this morning with an important gut check.
We handed out this flyer at the 2025 @forbes.com Power Women’s Summit today to bring awareness to the blatant hypocrisy of this event. We want Forbes CEO Sherry Phillips to answer why this event is happening when Forbes has a well-documented history of pay inequity. #journalismjobs

In honor of the #Forbes400, the Forbes Union is sharing some numbers of our own. @forbes.com has dragged its capitalist feet for far too long. It's time to give the newsroom a fair contract!! #union #journalismjobs
HAVE YOU SEEN HIM? We were out searching this past weekend for @randalllane.bsky.social, who we hear likes to watch the horses at Saratoga Racecourse. 🏇 .
NEW STUDY: We sent @forbes.com CEO Sherry Phillips an invite today to lunch – to discuss our new study about the labor problem at Forbes Union.
Despite @forbes.com CCO @randalllane.bsky.social's claim to want the best newsroom in media, he & CEO Sherry Phillips are keeping salaries below industry norms. Is it any wonder we've seen an exodus of staffers?
We're back at the bargaining table after 3 YEARS of feet-dragging from @forbes.com, 3 YEARS of paying $$$$ to Forbes' white-shoe lawyer, 3 YEARS of hissy fits and juvenile name-calling. We are still waiting for the reset Forbes CEO Sherry Phillips promised.
@forbes.com CEO Sherry Phillips promised us a reset. This is what we're getting at the bargaining table. #journalism
The @forbes.com newsroom, the cornerstone of the brand, has shrunk significantly under @randalllane.bsky.social's lack of leadership. A win for our competitors. #media
Repeat it with us: Diversity is strength. We want a contract where diversity and inclusion at @forbes.com aren't just words. #unionstrong
Yes, @Forbes has a major retention problem. In recent years, there's been an exodus of talented staff who see greener pastures at competitors where they can get a fair shake. It's beyond time for some transparency! #unionstrong
Right now, there is zero job security at @Forbes, and management likes it that way. ("At management's discretion" is their favorite phrase.) We need a contract that gives normal protections like guaranteed severance and mandatory heads-up before layoffs. #unionstrong
The good news: @forbes.com ramped up the number of bargaining sessions in 2025. The bad news: We've seen no change in tone at the bargaining table, just the same old, same old. Very disappointing.
WE CALL B.S.: We are hearing of members being told we are standing in the way of raises. Completely false! @forbes.com mgt, which continues to drag out bargaining, can offer raises now. We will keep fighting. @randalllane.bsky.social
@forbes.com' new CEO Sherry Phillips says she supports a reset at the bargaining table. We could not agree more. Our @forbesunion.bsky.social members are long overdue to get their first contract. Let's get this done.
How about dropping into a bargaining session, Sherry Phillips? We’d love to see you there.
We love the sound of a reset, Sherry Phillips and @randalllane.bsky.social. Looking forward to a new tone at the @forbes.com bargaining table this week.
Congratulations! Your fight is our fight! ✊
NYT Tech Guild@nytguildtech.bsky.social · 2y ago✊🎉WE HAVE A DEAL 🎉✊ We are thrilled to announce we have reached a tentative three-year agreement with @nytimes.com, pending ratification by our members. There’s so much to share but here are just a few highlights of the deal:
