Picketing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is going on right now, even in the rain.
The Conde Nast Union is out there because they say the publisher will not meet them at the bargaining table and hammer out a new contract.
The Union warns that they will be out there tomorrow when Anna Wintour tries to put on her glittery Met Gala. Celebrities will have to walk past these people. If they do, they will incur the wrath of a lot of fans around the world.
What a mess: Conde workers are angry. I knew they would be, seeing that there are layoffs galore while Wintour spends millions on the Kardashians arriving in Halloween costumes.
The Conde Nast Union is out there today supporting the Model Alliance, and the Fashion Workers Act. Models have rights, too! As they point out: “Currently, models work through management companies in New York which, unlike talent agencies, escape licensing and regulation.”
Will models like Kaia Gerber and Gisele Bundchen cross that line tomorrow?
