Washington Post Guild Fights for Fair Contract

With rallies, news releases, three "Colleagues Speak Out" videos and a petition signed by nearly 500 Washington Post employees, the Post unit of the Washington-Baltimore Guild, TNG-CWA Local 32035, is turning up the heat on owner Jeff Bezos and his management team as workers fight for a fair contract with wage increases and a secure pension.
Workers have signed petitions stressing that a fair contract should include "a reasonable wage increase" – better than the 1.5 percent a year the Post is offering in a two-year contract. A fair contract also includes, "a fair pension, one that covers everyone, young and old, newcomers and veterans, including future hires," one worker said. "We expect a contract that reflects The Post's good fortune in having an overfunded pension – not a contract that offers only freezes and feeble benefit formulas."
