VICE Union is devastated by today's mass layoffs affecting dozens of unit members and around 100 employees overall. These workers are suffering the consequences of years of poor decisions they played no part in.

Heartbroken over the losses at VICE today. These journalists have done incredible, groundbreaking work. The VICE UK UNION will do everything possible to support them.

VICE UK Union stands with our brilliant colleagues affected by today's layoffs across the entire company. We will be working with the NUJ at every step to reduce the potential redundancies in the UK and make sure that those affected receive the best possible outcome.

So Nancy Dubuc gets hired to try to sell VICE. Gets paid $1.5 M annually for five years. Peaces out. VICE goes bankrupt. Where is the accountability? Why are journalists getting laid off and CEOs getting off scot free? nytimes.com/2023/02/24/bus…

The boom and bust management model for online content needs to be consigned to the annals of history. Thinking of all the staff inc. VICE Union + VICE UK UNION either side of the pond who are working day-to-day while the sword of Damocles hangs over their livelihoods.

#NUJ says journalists at VICE UK are facing statutory redundancy terms, with many having to leave with almost nothing, since the company filed for bankruptcy and sought a buyer. All despite recent global CEO Nancy Dubuc on a $1.5m annual salary. nuj.org.uk/resource/vice-…

The NUJ have today put out a statement on the current situation regarding our collective redundancy consultations with VICE UK We as a union will continue to do everything in our power to fight for the fair treatment of our members. nuj.org.uk/resource/vice-…

NUJ members at Vice UK will carry out a 48-hour strike on 29 and 30 June in protest at the company's proposed redundancy terms for 23 staff. Press Gazette wrote about the strike threat at the troubled youth media outlet earlier this month: pressgazette.co.uk/publishers/dig…

Last week our chapel members voted in favour of strike action in protest of the current redundancy terms offered by VICE UK. Strike action is due to take place on the 29th and 30th of this month.

Solidarity with former Vice colleagues. Hope you get what you need.

We are less than $5,000 away from our $25,000 goal to help our VICE Union members in need! As a reminder, our laid-off colleagues have not been paid a single dollar of the severance they are owed by VICE. Thank you so much for your continued support. gofundme.com/f/VICEunion

After putting sufficient pressure on VICE UK we are pleased to announce that they have increased their redundancy offer and as a result our chapel have voted to call off the strike planned for later this week. This is a great example of what a unionised workforce can achieve!

I'm very sorry for all my ex-colleagues who have lost their jobs today. I think the last line of this statement sadly captures it
