Washington Post Staffers Stage Historic 24-Hour Walkout in Labor Protest

More than 700 unionized staffers at The Washington Post went on a 24-hour walkout, accusing management of negotiating in "bad faith" after 18 months of stalled contract negotiations. The walkout, the first protest action at the paper since the mid-1970s, aims to address pay disparities, obtain raises and job protections, and protest impending layoffs. The Post's leadership seeks to rectify a $100 million shortfall and has floated the possibility of buyouts or layoffs. The walkout follows similar strike actions at other major news outlets, including Insider and the New York Times.
