Katie Kilkenny at The Hollywood Reporter reports that more than three years ago, The New Yorker’s Unionized Employees authorized and threatened a Strike during a contentious first contract negotiation that culminated with scores of protestors descending on the Greenwich Village home of Condé Nast Executive Anna Wintour days before a deal was ultimately reached. Now, as the Union is in the middle of negotiating a second contract with Condé Nast, it is applying similar pressure.  The Hollywood Reporter has learned 100% of voting Members of the Bargaining Unit have once again opted to authorize a Strike.  A Strike Authorization Vote does not mean a strike will occur, but it gives a Union power to call one when it deems necessary.  "We presented management with a pledge signed by ninety-nine percent of our members saying that we are ready to do whatever it takes to win a fair contract," Deputy Poetry Editor and The New Yorker Union Unit Chair Hannah Aizenman said.
