Dozens of News Guild of New York members at Consumer Reports magazine marched in solidarity Thursday to a management staff meeting.
They were displaying their anger over the management’s decision to lay off 12 of their colleagues Wednesday, including several long-term employees who seniority.
The Guild has said it has identified savings that could had eliminated the need for most of the layoffs.
The layoffs come less than a month after the company announced a new editor for its flagship publication and that it was discontinuing ShopSmart magazine and its Money Adviser newsletter.
The company’s editorial side has been in turmoil for several years now. It has gone through three editors in the past three years and has struggled to revamp its operations to focus more on digital.
