🚨 The Washington Post Guild has reached a tentative agreement with The Washington Post after 18 months of contract negotiations.

This deal is the best contract Washington Post employees have seen in 50 years.

[Washington Post Guild @PostGuild]

A letter to our dedicated readers:

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.

It’s been a long time coming. I’m so proud to be standing with hundreds of my Post colleagues on Thursday by walking out

Support us by not engaging with Post content on Thursday or by writing a letter to our publisher https://t.co/W1RvRqcHa3

[Washington Post Guild @PostGuild]

Workers @washingtonpost have been in contract negotiations with our bosses for 18 months.

But the company is refusing to pay us what we’re worth or bargain in good faith.

So on Dec. 7, we’re walking off the job for 24 hours.

@JasperJSmith_ @washingtonpost We’ll miss you!!!

[Colleen Neely @colleen_neely]

@rachelsuzhunt No one deserves this. Sending you so much love, healing and strength❤️

[Colleen Neely @colleen_neely]

@JasperJSmith_ @washingtonpost Congrats and welcome to the desk!!

Newsrooms can be magical places. There's nothing like election night, or big breaking news, or an irl brainstorm full of smart people, sparks flying.

But they can also be toxic. And discriminatory. And exhausting.

Two things can be true at once.

More than 450 of our colleagues signed a pledge to walk out during lunch to demand that The Post get serious & give us a wage proposal.

Many folks are participating remotely — from offices in NY, SF & elsewhere. But hundreds are standing in solidarity in Franklin Square. (6/x)

[Washington Post Guild @PostGuild]

Today, The Washington Post laid off 20 of our colleagues.

While 20 is much smaller than 200 — “a single digit percentage of the workforce,” as Publisher Fred Ryan indicated, that’s little consolation to those who lost their jobs today.

That number should be zero.

In case you can’t tell, I hate the cold so I really love that I got to write this headline for this morning’s metro front page

[Washington Post Guild @PostGuild]

Tomorrow, WaPo hosts a company “town hall.” Employees sent questions in advance, but our publisher Fred Ryan rarely answers the hard ones. None are taken live.

But after brutal layoffs, we want answers about WaPo’s future. Democracy Dies in Darkness, right? Here’s what we asked:

[Washington Post Guild @PostGuild]

Today, dozens of Post Guild members came to the bargaining table to negotiate a fair severance package for our laid-off colleagues.

But instead of engaging with us, management walked out.

So much for Democracy Dies in Darkness.

It's the last day of my @washingtonpost internship, I got the keys to my new apartment this morning and it's my birthday.

So it's an especially perfect day to announce that I'm staying on the copy desk as a multiplatform editor!🥳
