@forbes.com CEO Sherry Phillips hasn't been to a single bargaining session. Instead, she sends proxies who speak for her and this is the kind of thing that comes of it.

Can we talk about the illogic and short-sightedness of @forbes.com's temp workforce churn?
This is on CEO Sherry Phillips and CCO @randalllane.bsky.social, who have not shown the kind of leadership the newsroom deserves.

Wondering why @forbes.com, led by CEO Sherry Phillips and CCO @randalllane.bsky.social, has seen an exodus of talented journalists recently? This right here.

@forbes.com mgt, led by CEO Sherry Phillips and CCO Randall Lane, have proposed 1.25% annual bumps for staff, not even keeping up with inflation--when many in the newsroom go YEARS without a raise. #journalismjobs @nyguild.bsky.social

We handed out this flyer at the 2025 @forbes.com Power Women’s Summit today to bring awareness to the blatant hypocrisy of this event. We want Forbes CEO Sherry Phillips to answer why this event is happening when Forbes has a well-documented history of pay inequity. #journalismjobs

In honor of the #Forbes400, the Forbes Union is sharing some numbers of our own. @forbes.com has dragged its capitalist feet for far too long. It's time to give the newsroom a fair contract!! #union #journalismjobs

Despite @forbes.com CCO @randalllane.bsky.social's claim to want the best newsroom in media, he & CEO Sherry Phillips are keeping salaries below industry norms. Is it any wonder we've seen an exodus of staffers?

We're back at the bargaining table after 3 YEARS of feet-dragging from @forbes.com, 3 YEARS of paying $$$$ to Forbes' white-shoe lawyer, 3 YEARS of hissy fits and juvenile name-calling. We are still waiting for the reset Forbes CEO Sherry Phillips promised.

The @forbes.com newsroom, the cornerstone of the brand, has shrunk significantly under @randalllane.bsky.social's lack of leadership. A win for our competitors. #media

Yes, @Forbes has a major retention problem. In recent years, there's been an exodus of talented staff who see greener pastures at competitors where they can get a fair shake. It's beyond time for some transparency! #unionstrong

Right now, there is zero job security at @Forbes, and management likes it that way. ("At management's discretion" is their favorite phrase.) We need a contract that gives normal protections like guaranteed severance and mandatory heads-up before layoffs. #unionstrong

The good news: @forbes.com ramped up the number of bargaining sessions in 2025.
The bad news: We've seen no change in tone at the bargaining table, just the same old, same old. Very disappointing.

WE CALL B.S.: We are hearing of members being told we are standing in the way of raises. Completely false! @forbes.com mgt, which continues to drag out bargaining, can offer raises now. We will keep fighting. @randalllane.bsky.social
