WaPo's Union has planned a walkout for December 7.
Yes, they have a union. Who knew?
We made the same face.
A letter to our dedicated readers:
— Washington Post Guild (@PostGuild) December 5, 2023
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 Post content. That includes our print + online news stories, podcasts, videos, games and recipes. https://t.co/XTxD97lAWu
From their letter:
Now, we are applying those core principles to our workplace. For 18 months, members of our union, the Post Guild, have sought to negotiate a fairer contract for us all. But management has refused to bargain in good faith and repeatedly — and illegally — shut down negotiations over key issues, such as pay equity, raises that keep pace with inflation and our competitors, remote work policies, mental health supports, and a buyout package that seeks to reduce our workforce by 10 percent.
That’s why, on Dec. 7, Washington Post workers are going on strike for 24 hours. Taking this historic action is not a decision we came to lightly. We take seriously the impact it will have on the people, issues and communities we cover.
Since our last contract, Post journalists have covered two wars, an insurrection, a pandemic, gun violence in America, climate disasters, two presidential campaigns and more. We brought you perspectives that opened minds, advice that made hard decisions easier and stories that delighted even on difficult days. We kept printing during a global health crisis and made sure the news reached you, wherever you were. Our work has won international acclaim and coveted awards and made The Post lucrative again. Then our former publisher’s bad business decisions squandered our profits. Instead of executives bearing the weight of this mismanagement, The Post repeatedly made workers pay the price. In the last year, the company has laid off nearly 40 people. If buyouts don’t net another 240 cuts, Post leaders warned more layoffs will come.
Since their last contract, they've done their job. Sorta.
That's sort of how it works.
But hey, what do we know?
Just GUESS how this is going over:
Don't threaten me with a good time. https://t.co/jSPuONYpfm

Ouch.
It doesn't get any better, trust us.
We're laughing at you, not with you

We're not sure we'd click on every WaPo article because that might cause some sort of mental illness but we definitely won't be avoiding them.

You don’t deserve anyone’s sympathy or respect. Try doing actual journalism instead of propaganda on behalf of evil.

Yeah.
Not seeing a whole lot of support or solidarity in the replies.
