I present to you the first-ever guide to all 131 D.C. neighborhoods. The goal of this two-year project is simple- to help make a big city smaller for locals, transplants, and tourists: https://t.co/MwsaWK1Iq5. #washingtondc

We must be a scary bunch because @Washingtonian felt the need to hire security for last night’s Women in Journalism event.

Mostly, though, the security just encouraged guests to throw away our flyers for fair pay and parental leave.

Last year, @washguild filed an Unfair Labor Practice complaint against Washingtonian and @merrillwilliams after they refused to negotiate changes to workplace policy, as required.

We protested. Too bad, they said: Take it up with the @NLRB. So we did.

📣 Thread, listen up! (1/14) For more than a year, we’ve been pushing Washingtonian management to engage seriously on fair pay in our contract negotiations. Instead, what do they want to talk about? Returning to the office. Why?

[Washingtonian Guild @WashGuild]

• 58% of women in the Guild make less than the median Guild salary of $56,750.

• 80% of nonwhite Guild members make less than the median.

• 100% of Black women in the Guild make less than the median.

• 1 man in the Guild makes less than the median.

On this International Women’s Day, we want to share some of the appalling wage statistics for members of the Washingtonian Guild—the majority of whom (77%) are women.

[Carmen Honker @CarmenHonker]

It was a real pleasure working on this with @CarolineFrentz and @emspainhoward (dream team).

Our Washingtonian Wrapped is live now and you should go give it a look!

[Anna Spiegel @AnnaSpiegs]

We’re looking forward to working with management to make productive change!

[Jessica Sidman @jsidman]

Time for @washingtonian management to get more serious about our contract negotiations! Reader support for @WashGuild means so much to us!

[Bill O'Sullivan @billmatto]

A stronger, fairer, more diverse workplace is in everyone’s best interest—I hope management picks up the pace of @WashGuild bargaining sessions. All it takes is saying, “Okay, let’s get them on the calendar.”

[Abby Vervaeke @abbyjvervaeke]

I’m so proud of the work our bargaining committee has done so far. We need to get more sessions on the calendar so we can start making progress on the issues we all care about.

[Rob Brunner @RobBrunnerDC]

It's time for management to get serious about negotiating the fair contract that Washingtonian employees deserve.

[Luke Mullins @lmullinsdc]

I couldn’t agree more. Our demands are absolutely legitimate and need to be immediately addressed in bargaining sessions.

[Emma Spainhoward @emspainhoward]

More bargaining dates are better for everyone! Excited to see some real progress in negotiations and positive change in our workplace

[Washingtonian Guild @WashGuild]

Today we’re asking Washingtonian management to agree to come to the table more often. 🧵

Washingtonian Guild is headed to the bargaining table for the first time today. (Wish us luck!) We deserve a great contract, and we're all in this together.
