It's official: the ballots have been counted and we have officially been recognized as the Washington Post Tech Guild by the NLRB! In a 171-38 BLOWOUT vote, we voiced loudly that our union is important to us! That's 81%!
We returned to the bargaining table today after a months-long break, eager to finally hear management's first proposal. We've presented 25 proposals without a single response. Today we got theirs, and it was worse than we expected. 🧵(1)
We're the ones who keep this company running, and we won't be treated as expendable. Management's proposal shows how little they value the people behind the Post's tech. We're not going anywhere, and neither is our fight for a seat at the table. (4)
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.
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.
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…
Our Washington Post Tech Guild members are sharing what these attempted layoffs mean for them, their families, and the work that powers the @washingtonpost every day.
Meet the union busters of The Washington Post!
Instead of following the law, Post management is pressuring Tech Guild members to accept defeat as they attempt to illegally lay off almost 30% of our unit (including most of our leadership team and bargaining committee).
So today, we put up signs around The Post's D.C. office calling this out.
We need your support! Tell The Washington Post you stand with tech workers against union busting and illegal layoffs! actionnetwork.org/letters/te…
This is despicable. After attempting to lay off almost 80 of our members illegally, The Post's CTO Vineet Khosla has tried to co-opt the #SaveThePost hashtag used by Tech Guild and @postguild members, community members, readers, & supporters to push back against these cuts.
Last night after working hours, our members who are being targeted for layoffs by The Washington Post were locked out of their work devices, platforms and The Post building.
When they came to work this morning - to continue the jobs they were hired to do - they were blocked from entering the building. Our members are still employees. We are in Status Quo, which means that these layoffs are illegal.
If you care about supporting Tech Guild members, the workers who power The Post, please consider donating to our fund to “Stop The Bezos Bribe” and allow our members to fight back against these illegal layoffs. gofundme.com/f/washington-po…
