Hundreds of staff at the Washington Post, an internationally renowned newspaper, will walk out for a full day on Thursday, the staff’s union confirmed.
Outside of America’s current tight labor market, labor unions are galvanizing more activity now than prior times — whether they are in Hollywood, working on cars, or in coffee shops. Everyone is voicing their opinions.
The Washington Post-Guild released a statement describing the strike as one not taken lightly. Talks have gone on for 18 months
with no progress reach on pay, mental health support, buyouts, remote work, and other conditions.
Traditional US media outlets have faced substantial difficulties over the past few years, encountering issues like readers leaving to social medias and increasing understanding of newspapers thanks to advertising revenue shortfall.
The move by Washington Post workers follows other recently reported actions such as the strike at largest newspaper publisher Gannett, a “short break” staged by Associated Press workers, and a 24-hour drive of protests lead by employees from the New York Times.
