Washington Post Guild

“If Jeff Bezos no longer supports that mission, then The Post and its readers deserve a steward who does.”

That’s something the entire NewsGuild-CWA stands behind.

✊✊✊

We stand with our @postguild.bsky.social siblings. Democracy depends on journalism -- now more than ever.

Local journalism is a public good. Local reporters tell the stories of our neighborhoods, hold the powerful accountable, and keep us informed.

After scores of layoffs and coverage cuts at @washingtonpost.com, I'm dismayed to see DC at risk of losing even more local reporters. #SaveThePost

#SaveThePost

We stand in solidarity with the @postguild.bsky.social. Democracy dies in darkness, and it's a lot harder to shine a light from a shrinking newsroom. #SaveThePost

We stand in solidarity with our unionized colleagues of @postguild.bsky.social as they call on Jeff Bezos and @washingtonpost.com management to halt the cuts that would drain their newsroom. #savethepost

Thank you for your solidarity ✊

This image shows a logo of The Washington Post Guild and our statement: The Post Guild vehemently opposes any more cuts to the staff of The Washington Post. As we’ve seen in recent years, continuing to eliminate scores of workers who make this storied institution what it is only stands to weaken the newspaper, drive away readers and undercut The Post’s mission: to hold power to account without fear or favor and provide critical insight into communities across the region, country and world. If Jeff Bezos no longer supports that mission, then The Post and its readers deserve a steward who does. If you value The Post’s journalism and its renowned past — if you care about its future — we ask that you join us in our call to #SaveThePost.

#SaveThePost, Jeff Bezos.

The Post Guild stands with Hannah, and will continue to fight for our members’ safety and independence so that they can continue their critical work. (3/3)

in understanding the impact of the Trump administration’s policies. The extraordinary decision to execute a search warrant at a journalist’s home should shock and dismay everyone who cares about a free and independent press. (2/3)

The Washington Post Guild is alarmed and appalled by federal law enforcement’s search and seizure of reporter Hannah Natanson’s property and personal devices. Hannah is a valued member of our union whose work covering the federal workforce has been essential (1/3)

We remain committed to @postguild.bsky.social members in remembering their former colleague Jamal Khashoggi and advocating for press freedom.

We’ll never forget Jamal Khashoggi, and we advise those who care about free speech and a free press to do the same.

Post leadership has heard from us — but now they need to hear from you.

Will is not on Slack. But he was in his office. So a member of Guild leadership was able to hand-deliver the messages and explain that his employees were eager to have him read their messages. He said he would.

Fifty members from the Post Guild and @wapotechguild.bsky.social gathered yesterday to deliver the printouts. Adam wasn’t there, so we left him a note!

Juuuuuust to make sure management saw what roughly 150 employees had to say, the Guild printed each message. One set for Opinions editor Adam O’Neal and one for publisher Will Lewis.

Despite being tagged in more than 100 Slack messages, management didn’t respond.

So…

We remain concerned about the wrongful firing of Karen Attiah and continued cuts to the Opinions sections, including layoffs of five Guild members. We asked Post leaders to affirm their commitment to free speech and due process.

Now you can, too:

The right to speak freely is the ultimate personal liberty and the foundation of Karen’s 11-year career at The Post. We’re proud to call Karen a colleague and a longtime union sibling. The Post Guild stands with her and will continue to support her and defend her rights.

The Washington Post wrongly fired Opinions columnist Karen Attiah over her social media posts. The Post not only flagrantly disregarded standard disciplinary processes, it also undermined its own mandate to be a champion of free speech.

We couldn’t be prouder to congratulate our colleagues @wapotechguild.bsky.social on their successful union election.

Weeks of union busting from Post management didn’t stop them from achieving an overwhelming 82% victory. Solidarity forever! ✊

Washington Post management let us know they will NOT voluntarily recognize our union and are refusing to meet with Tech Guild leaders about election details. This is unacceptable.

Today, we held a picket in partnership with our Post Guild colleagues to demand that the company listen to us.

Hey Jeff Bezos, here's some news: The Post unions are UNITED and STRONG! ✊ @wapotechguild.bsky.social @postguild.bsky.social

Today, after @washingtonpost.com refused to recognize the tech union, workers came together to picket outside The Post's HQ. Together, we make our demands loud and clear!

We, the tech workers who power The Washington Post, demand the same fairness, transparency and respect that our readers expect from our journalism. The Washington Post Tech Guild will bring these values into our workplace, uniting us in our commitment to truth and integrity. (1)
