Hundreds of Insider employees will walk off the job on Monday morning to protest the company’s plan to lay off 10 percent of its staff, the company’s union announced on Twitter Sunday night.
The daylong walkout campaign was hastily organized almost immediately after the layoffs were announced. More than 250 people agreed to the walkout, tech reporter and union steward William Antonelli told The Daily Beast, with about 40 people pledging to picket the company’s Financial District headquarters on Monday morning.
“Management has been regularly refusing to recognize the value we bring to this newsroom,” Antonelli said. “Maybe we just have to take our value away and maybe they’ll recognize it then.”
