“We, the undersigned, trust in our colleagues to perform all their work responsibilities from the location that is most suitable to their needs. We have seen our colleagues adapt to unprecedented changes in our work lives without a drop in productivity," the petition, shared with ABC News by the union, states."We do not believe that a return to office is the same as a return to work, because for all Hearst employees, we have never stopped working, regardless of our location.
In a Twitter thread posted by the Hearst Magazines Media Union, the group says that they have been seeking to negotiate with management"for months" over return-to-office plans but still feel in the dark. The thread adds that it was only four business days before the scheduled return that some New York-based employees learned of the COVID exposure policy, and that many health and safety questions remain unanswered.
Some journalists working at Hearst have weighed in on the debate on Twitter, arguing flexible work arrangement offers more time to spend with family and more.
