1/ Two weeks ago, more than 750 Washington Post employees walked off the job for 24 hours to demand The Washington Post negotiate in good faith for a contract that keeps pace with inflation and our competition.

Instead, they returned with peanuts.

Little did you know I've spent the last two months driving around D.C. looking at vacant properties! These properties were meant to be redeveloped as part of D.C.'s 'Vacant to Vibrant' program. They were not! Read all about it. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/…

Workers at the Washington Post are now on strike. Don’t click on the site. Don’t share any articles. Don’t speak to managers trying to fill the void. Respect the line and support the workers!

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!

Important for our D.C./local readers — On Dec. 7, Washington Post employees are walking out for 24 hours.

Here's why:

POLL - Wash Post unionized staffers (700+ of them) are striking this Thursday and asked supporters to 'please do not engage with any Post content. That includes our print + online news stories, podcasts, videos, games and recipes.'

What are you planning on doing?

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.
