Nearly 400 union members who work at Condé Nast are currently holding a 24-hour work stoppage to protest negotiation practices they claim are unlawful.

The work stoppage coincided with the announcement of the 2024 Oscar nominations... ET. Employees at Vanity Fair, Vogue, GQ, Allure, Condé Nast Entertainment, Architectural Digest, Glamour, Self, Teen Vogue and other Condé Nast publications walked to hold a rally in front of the company’s offices in New York.

Hathaway was unaware of the work stoppage when she arrived at the New York City photo shoot. She was still in hair and makeup when her team was notified by a staffer from SAG-AFTRA to advise Hathaway to support the work stoppage.

“They hadn’t even started taking photos yet,” a source tells Variety. “Once Anne was made aware of what was going on, she just got up from hair and makeup and left.”

      She was a woman in not only a Christopher Nolan movie, but a Christopher Nolan BATMAN movie.

      that hate should have been directed at her agent instead because she's been in a lot of mediocre movies (and a few good ones tbf)

      She was hated? I guess I wasn’t old enough to be aware of that. I always thought she was one of the most beloved actresses

      Her performance in Les Mis was a bit meh but it had nothing to do with her, she had the acting and singing chops but the director was making an anti-musical.

      Princess Diaries is still amazing though

    anne hathaway is one of the very few celebrities I genuinely like. Not really sure why. Maybe cause she generally stays low-key? Idk. But anyway, nice, very cool.

        Maybe we can just abolish the monarchy and make her General Secretary like Laos did with their communist prince.

    Presumably there wouldn't have been much for her to do at the photoshoot anyway if all the employees walked off.
