Over 750 employees launched a 24-hour strike Thursday in one of the largest labor protests in decades.
The Post is anticipating a loss of around $100 million in 2023, two individuals familiar with the Post’s finances told The New York Times in July, and the outlet plans to eliminate roughly 240 jobs. Its staff has struggled to achieve its objectives in negotiations with management on pay, flexibility, mental health and layoffs, according to a Tuesday letter about the strike by The Newspaper Guild.
Our 24-hour strike has begun.
For the first time in 50 years, @washingtonpost workers are walking off the job because our company is refusing to bargain in good faith and breaking the law.
