More than 750 Washington Post employees walked off the job Thursday in a 24-hour strike, the largest labor protest at the media company in nearly 50 years, according to the Post’s union.

“This is a declaration by hundreds of Washington Post staffers saying that if the company is to work with us fairly, it has to respect its employees,” said Sarah Kaplan, a climate reporter and steward for The Washington Post Guild. 
Dyana Forester, President of the Metro Washington Council AFL-CIO, and Cet Parks, Executive Director of the Washington-Baltimore News Guild, joined Post Guild members on the picket line.
