We’ll share updates as bargaining progresses. Solidarity matters, and so does accountability. In the meantime, please send a letter to Washington Post management telling them you stand with Post Tech workers: actionnetwork.org/letters/te…

To our colleagues: we’re fighting for you.
To leadership: the path forward is clear. Work with us in good faith and do right by the people who make this work possible.

As we head into bargaining, we’re focused on outcomes that protect workers: fair severance, real options for those who want to remain, and dignity for everyone affected.
Washington Post Guild retweeted
Our members power the systems that keep journalism running — from publishing tools to infrastructure to reader experiences used by millions. They deserve transparency, respect, and good-faith negotiations.

These layoffs never should have been attempted in the first place. But now that we’re here, the company has a responsibility to do what’s right for the people who built and sustain The Post’s technology.
Washington Post Guild retweeted
Tomorrow, the Washington Post Tech Guild enters effects and decisional bargaining over the company’s illegal attempted layoffs of 76 of our colleagues. Our goal is to secure the best possible deal for our members: both those who want to stay and those who choose to leave.

The @PostGuild's data is the latest example in the years-long unraveling of the news industry’s promises to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion after George Floyd’s killing and the ensuing “racial reckoning” of 2020. niemanlab.org/2026/02/washin…

America’s unions rallied outside of The Washington Post yesterday after owner Jeff Bezos, one of the richest people on Earth, laid off hundreds of union workers.
Solidarity with @postguild as they fight to #SaveThePost!
Washington Post Guild retweeted
Yesterday’s rally at The Post drew a huge crowd to fight for journalism and to #SaveThePost.
These layoffs are shameful, and we are all worse off because of them. Still, we will continue to fight for journalism and for a free press.
Washington Post Guild retweeted
Cutting newsroom workers undermines accountability for those pulling the levers of power. Jeff Bezos’ mass layoffs are not only a threat to workers – they are a threat to accountability journalism! Standing with the @PostGuild workers at @WashingtonPost.

Many of The Washington Post's vitally important locally hired foreign reporters + staff have also lost their jobs, but they aren't covered by the same contract as our correspondents — please consider donating to support them: gofundme.com/f/support-for-w…
So many have given to The Post Guild’s fundraising effort, and we are floored. But we also ask you to consider supporting the fundraiser for our international staff and staff in our bureaus who aren’t Guild eligible. They are absolutely vital to coverage. gofund.me/a325666b6

With mass layoffs expected to target the local, sports and international sections at the Post this week, @PostGuild has organized a letter-writing campaign for readers to write to Jeff Bezos and our executives in defense of the paper and maintaining these coverage areas.

If @JeffBezos follows through with reported staff cuts, he will kneecap @washingtonpost journalism at a critical moment for our democracy.
Please join @PostGuild this Thursday at 12pm for a rally in front of the Post's DC office #SaveThePost

If @JeffBezos follows through w/ reported layoffs, the Post newsroom will have shrunk from more than 1,100 to roughly 600 in under 3 years.
Slashing staff isn't making us profitable - it hurts our ability to produce distinctive journalism & gives people less reason to subscribe.
Layoffs are not a business strategy.
We have the proof, @JeffBezos. 🧵

These stories atop the @washingtonpost homepage by @Anthony_Faiola @StefanoPitrelli in Italy, @tobiaraji @ishaantharoor on International in DC and @RickMaese on Sports show why we need these teams, working together, to put out a great newspaper every day #SaveThePost @JeffBezos

@vanhoutenphoto & I were reporting this week in villages in NW Nigeria attacked days before by an Islamic State affiliate the U.S. is targeting.
Again & again, people told us they couldn’t believe we were there.
It’s work we so desperately don’t want to stop.

Oh hey look at that, a SUPERB @washingtonpost Metro reporter @oliviacgeorge with a local scoop that has national impact. #SaveThePost #SaveLocalNews
Scoop: The Trump admin is preparing to sell the Old Post Office, a 19th-century landmark in the heart of D.C. that previously housed one of the president’s luxury hotels, records show.

Language fluent, context-knowledgeable journalists like Heba are the backbone of international reporting.
The Washington Post & access to knowledge about the world in general—Americans’ access, Anglophones’ access, everyone’s access, really—are much poorer when they’re fired.
It is the first time in my life that I post something like this, but I would never forgive myself if I don’t try to protect something I love and have faith in. #SaveThePost

I can’t emphasize enough how integral deep, cross-desk collaboration is to our reporting. Some of the biggest global stories begin right here in the DMV — case in point: Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the administration’s move to send hundreds of immigrants to a prison in El Salvador.

I was a Post intern in '02 and will forever look fondly on it. From the @nytimes, I enjoy having brilliant competition for news and sharp coverage.
I hope the Washington Post stays strong.
ALT 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.
