- TNG-CWA Local 32035’s bargaining committee reports that The Washington Post’s publisher “dropped a bomb” on the first day of talks. The Guild says, “The Post would give managers the power to fire anyone for any reason without following the established disciplinary process and other rights we now enjoy. Thanks to the Guild’s existing contract, the Post must go through a system of progressive discipline, including oral and written warnings, before suspending or terminating an employee.” Read more here.
