NEW: Weeks before Israel’s military raided al-Shifa Hospital, it built a public case it was central to Hamas. A WaPo examination finds those claims fall short. 1/ @leloveluck, @evanhill, @JHBaran, Jarret Ley and me wapo.st/3Rw5nXE

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.

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:
ALT An illustrated headline on a comic panel reads: Fed up! Illustration shows a line of people marching with signs that say “fair contract now” and “solidarity.” A banner across the bottom reads: A Post Guild zine. Someone is holding the zine in front of The Post newsroom.
750+ Washington Post workers are walking out for 24 hours to demand a fair contract.
Show solidarity by:

Our 24-hour strike has begun.
For the first time in 50 years, @washingtonpost workers are walking off the job because our company is refusing to bargain in good faith and breaking the law.

Workers @washingtonpost 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.

4 days ago we interviewed Roshdi Sarraj for a @washingtonpost story about the 23 journalists killed in the Israel-Gaza war.
Roshdi, also a journalist, spoke of his late Palestinian colleagues with pride. Today we discovered that Roshdi was killed in an Israeli strike on his home
