Washington Post staff to strike on Thursday [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-12-05  

The Washingtonian reports that over 700 Washington Post employees, represented by the Washington Baltimore News Guild, are planning for a one-day strike on Thursday, December 7, amid planned layoffs at the newspaper.

From their letter to readers:

Our contract fight means ensuring all Post workers — from news reporters to ad sales reps to print production staff — have strong job protections. It means guaranteeing no employee earns less than a living wage. It means providing retirement benefits commensurate with decades of devoted service. The Post cannot stay competitive, retain the best talent or produce the kind of elite journalism you rely on without giving its staff a fair deal.

On Dec. 7, we ask you to respect our walkout by not crossing the picket line: For 24 hours, please do not engage with any Washington Post content. That includes our print and online news stories, podcasts, videos, games and recipes. Instead, share information about our strike and send a letter to Post leaders in support of the people who make this institution run.

Edit: Corrected the WBNG name
