Our demands are clear. Washington Post: It’s your turn to come to the table with a fair deal.

Our company tried to scare workers away from coming out today. Instead, hundreds of us been living it up for 10+ hours and have been joined by loyal readers, journalism legends, union leaders, security guards, custodial staff and a whole lotta dogs and babies. We love you all.

THANK YOU JORTS ✊

Today is the day! We are outside D.C. The Washington Post HQ fighting for a fair contract.

Reminder: don’t engage with Post content today!

Craving Washington Post journalism but don’t want to cross the picket line while we’re on strike?

We’ve got just the publication for you! “Fed up!” is a minizine by The Post Guild. Here’s what’s inside:

750+ Washington Post workers are walking out for 24 hours to demand a fair contract.

Show solidarity by:
✊ Sending a letter to our Publisher through this link: actionnetwork.org/letters/worker……
📷 Respecting our picket line (avoid Post journalism during our walkout)

We’re worth more than what they’re offering.

Workers The Washington Post 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.
