Workers at the Washington Post have been in contract negotiations for 18 months but still have not arrived at an agreement on fair pay, and the publisher is refusing to bargain in good faith.
In response to this, the Post Guild has announced a 24-hour unfair labor practice strike this Thursday, and is asking allies everywhere to be in solidarity. Here’s how to help:
- Show up at the picket line any time between 6 AM-11 PM on Thursday outside the Post‘s offices at 1301 K St. NW.
- Do not use or share materials from the Post online on Thursday.
- Send a letter to the publisher in support of Post Guild workers.
The Washington-Baltimore News Guild, which represents more than 1,000 editorial, advertising and other non-news staff at the Post, said mismanagement by the previous publisher led to nearly 40 layoffs last year — half from the newsroom — and the company was now seeking to cut another 240 jobs through buyouts.” Read more »
