Tensions High at Wall Street Journal Amid Disciplinary Meetings Spike

Tensions are reaching a boil at The Wall Street Journal, where union members participated in a rare, 15-minute coordinated work stoppage Thursday and accused editor in chief Emma Tucker’s leadership of targeting people for dismissal.

Multiple bureaus participated in the break to support their union in ongoing contract talks, according to IAPE TNG CWA Local 1096, which represents employees at Journal parent News Corp. Participants included around 70 from the New York office, per IAPE.
