Perlberg writes, “Members of the editorial union are walking off the job — digitally — in response to new performance targets set by management that include byline counts and traffic goals, union organizers told Insider.

“‘Fortune has been negotiating with the union in good faith, and will continue to do so,’ a Fortune spokesperson said.”
