WBNG will proceed to arbitration on June 4, 2026, challenging the wrongful termination of @KarenAttiah, former Global Opinions Editor and columnist at @washingtonpost.
Attiah served the Post for 11 years with an unblemished disciplinary record. Under the @PostGuild Collective Bargaining Agreement, bypassing progressive discipline requires proof of “gross misconduct” — a threshold management cannot meet.

Don’t cross the picket line today, Tuesday, May 26! Join us by refusing to click any articles or interacting in any way with our five McClatchy newspapers.
This is a major win for the entire labor movement.
“We refused to back down, and POLITICO heard us loud and clear that these tools do not belong in our newsroom,” said Ariel Wittenberg, PEN Guild chair. #NewsNotSlop
We have overwhelmingly voted to go on STRIKE as we fight for a fair contract with McClatchy Media and its five Pacific Northwest newspapers.
Our demands are simple: Protections against AI and wages that keep up with inflation.

Just got to meet two of the seven journalists who formed a union at the Centre Daily Times in State College, Pa.!! They’re joining the @PhillyNewsGuild and will bargain for common sense AI guardrails to protect their local newsroom! @TreborMaitin
ON STRIKE: Unionized staff at @EdSourceGuild, the largest education newsroom in California, are on strike today, May 14th.
Workers are protesting unilateral changes to healthcare benefits and management’s lack of progress toward a fair contract.

“How we fix what’s happening in the workplace with AI is organizing, becoming unionized, and getting a union contract, simple as that.” https://t.co/sxMjKt8I0Z
“To be clear on AI: All writing and visuals that freelancers submit to The Times must be the product of human creativity and craft, and all submissions must consist solely of their original reporting, writing and other work”
The age of the AI backlash has arrived.
HUGE WIN ON AI: Our @timemagunion ratified a new contract this week that includes "no layoffs due to AI" as well as higher wage floors, raises and more. More here.... https://t.co/6z3eNBZ987

This work isn’t possible without us. But McClatchy would rather spend millions on AI then invest in the humans who won 53 awards, including for investigating after a mom said her 3-year old was assaulted at a gym. Donate to our strike fund for fair wages https://t.co/6oExciExTX
