Washington Post Guild
@postguild.bsky.social
The union of the The Washington Post.
This shows the true scope of these layoffs — and it’s deeper than numbers on a page. These numbers aren’t just statistics. They reflect careers, communities, and a profound shift in who gets to shape the journalism and mission of The Washington Post.
After decimating the organization, we are bargaining per our contract with management. We have featured testimonials from Post employees. Here’s some of them had to say. Here’s what these layoffs have done to us. #SaveThePost 🧵
Monday 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.
Will Lewis’s exit is long overdue. His legacy will be the attempted destruction of a great American journalism institution. But it's not too late to save The Post. Jeff Bezos must immediately rescind these layoffs or sell the paper to someone willing to invest in its future.
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. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

I have so many thoughts about what was unleashed on @washingtonpost.com and many of my @postguild.bsky.social siblings yesterday. The most productive thought is to support them. Please give generously with me to help these dedicated journalists who are paying the price for others’ cowardice.

Executives at The Washington Post announced yesterday that they were eliminating hundreds of union jobs. Today, America’s unions rallied with @postguild.bsky.social to #SaveThePost!
The sign! 🤩 The solidarity! 😍

Join us Thursday for a rally to #SaveThePost!! The rally will run from noon to 1 p.m. Thursday at 1301 K St. NW!! Bring friends! Bring gloves! Bring a love of journalism!
It takes all of us to make The Washington Post. Every section works together to create this authoritative, entertaining, worldwide news report. So, Jeff Bezos, #SaveThePost.
We may be competitors, but we know that investing in journalism benefits all of us. #SaveThePost and support a robust newsroom. @postguild.bsky.social
Help us #SaveThePost
Michelle Ye Hee Lee@myhlee.bsky.social · 6mo agoFor nearly a century, the @washingtonpost’s foreign correspondents have been on the ground for the world’s most pressing stories. Now, our desk is facing potential steep cuts. Washington needs us. The world needs us. If you read us and need us, please watch this video and share.
“If Jeff Bezos no longer supports that mission, then The Post and its readers deserve a steward who does.” That’s something the entire NewsGuild-CWA stands behind.

We stand with our @postguild.bsky.social siblings. Democracy depends on journalism -- now more than ever.

Local journalism is a public good. Local reporters tell the stories of our neighborhoods, hold the powerful accountable, and keep us informed. After scores of layoffs and coverage cuts at @washingtonpost.com, I'm dismayed to see DC at risk of losing even more local reporters. #SaveThePost

We stand in solidarity with the @postguild.bsky.social. Democracy dies in darkness, and it's a lot harder to shine a light from a shrinking newsroom. #SaveThePost
Washington Post Guild@postguild.bsky.social · 6mo ago#SaveThePost, Jeff Bezos.
We stand in solidarity with our unionized colleagues of @postguild.bsky.social as they call on Jeff Bezos and @washingtonpost.com management to halt the cuts that would drain their newsroom. #savethepost bsky.app/profile/post...

The Washington Post Guild is alarmed and appalled by federal law enforcement’s search and seizure of reporter Hannah Natanson’s property and personal devices. Hannah is a valued member of our union whose work covering the federal workforce has been essential (1/3)
We remain committed to @postguild.bsky.social members in remembering their former colleague Jamal Khashoggi and advocating for press freedom.
We’ll never forget Jamal Khashoggi, and we advise those who care about free speech and a free press to do the same.
Washington-Baltimore News Guild@wbng.org · 9mo agoThis is shameful behavior. Freedom of the press is and always will be one of the most important American values, one that WBNG will always uphold. A sitting president disregarding the severity of violence against journalists is despicable. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...
We remain concerned about the wrongful firing of Karen Attiah and continued cuts to the Opinions sections, including layoffs of five Guild members. We asked Post leaders to affirm their commitment to free speech and due process. Now you can, too: actionnetwork.org/letters/wash...
