Hearst Magazines’ Digital, Print Staffs Vote To Unionize (mediapost.com)

Staffers at Hearst Magazines digital and print properties voted overwhelmingly yesterday to unionize with the Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE).

The election, which happened by mail ballot, follows Hearst management’s refusal to voluntarily recognize its staff’s efforts to unionize in November of last year. Management attempted to delay the election and divide bargaining units into six groups through a legal battle at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

Roughly 500 Hearst employees make up the new bargaining unit and work across editorial, video, design, photo and social. The unionized staff seeks to address issues that include diversity, transparency, compensation and editorial standards through its contract.

The ODP Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2022 Results

Total reported sales for the second quarter of 2022 were $2.0 billion, down 2% compared to the second quarter of 2021 primarily due to fewer retail stores in service and greater market-wide challenges related to the sourcing and supply chain environment relative to last year. Retail Division sales were lower primarily due to 71 planned store closures and lower store traffic, which was offset by higher sales in our BSD Division. The Company drove stronger business-to-business (B2B) sales through its contract channel as more businesses continued to return to the office, which was partially offset by lower sales through its eCommerce channel compared to a year ago. The Company reported operating income of $28 million in the second quarter of 2022, down compared to operating income of $30 million in the prior year period. GAAP operating results in the second quarter of 2022 included $26 million of charges consisting primarily of $23 million in merger, restructuring and other operating costs largely associated with activities related to the Company’s previously planned separation.
