They came back after months with a proposal that erases our voice. We came back with four more articles. We'll keep bringing real proposals until we get a real contract. We are united and ready to push harder than management does. (5)

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)

We formed this union because management hasn't been acting in workers' interest for years. We want a seat at the table. Their proposal makes it clear they don't want us to have one. (3)

It was clear management didn't engage with any of our proposals. Instead, they used nearly every article they presented as a chance to undermine the power of our Guild. (2)

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’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/tell...

As we head into bargaining, we’re focused on outcomes that protect workers: fair severance, real options for those who want to remain, and dignity for everyone affected.

Our members power the systems that keep journalism running — from publishing tools to infrastructure to reader experiences used by millions. They deserve transparency, respect, and good-faith negotiations.

These layoffs never should have been attempted in the first place. But now that we’re here, the company has a responsibility to do what’s right for the people who built and sustain The Post’s technology.

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.

Behind every role is a real person. These cuts don’t just impact workers: they impact the quality, stability, & future of the products our readers rely on. We stand together in solidarity & call for transparency, accountability, & respect for the workers who make The Post run.

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).

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 🧵

We all want to Save The Post, want to do our jobs - but Vineet locked our members out of work platforms and the building this week. Shame on Vineet.

The Washington Post Tech Guild @wapotechguild.bsky.social · 11/02/2026
This is despicable. After attempting to lay off almost 80 of our members illegally, The Post's Chief Technology Officer Vineet Khosla has tried to co-opt the #SaveThePost hashtag used by Tech Guild and @postguild members, community members, readers, and supporters to push back against these cuts.

When they came to work yesterday - 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.

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.

The Post must now reverse course on violating the rights of their workers with illegal layoffs. CTO Vineet Khosla and Arc XP President Matt Monahan need to also be held accountable for their lack of courage and bad faith.

Today we marched to engineering management's offices to deliver our unanswered questions about a tool the company is evaluating that would stack rank employees, violating status quo & disrespecting our union. We won’t back down when they violate our rights and then ignore our concerns.

We stand with our Post Guild colleagues in condemning the unjust firing of Opinion Columnist Karen Attiah. It’s both dangerous and self-defeating to take away authoritative strong voices. The Washington Post Tech Guild stands with Karen and will continue to show up for her rights.No one fights alone

The right to speak freely is the ultimate personal liberty and the foundation of Karen’s 11-year career at The Post. We’re proud to call Karen a colleague and a longtime union sibling. The Post Guild stands with her and will continue to support her and defend her rights.

The Washington Post wrongly fired Opinions columnist Karen Attiah over her social media posts. The Post not only flagrantly disregarded standard disciplinary processes, it also undermined its own mandate to be a champion of free speech.

Today we took a collective lunch break along with our siblings @postguild.bsky.social! The Post unilaterally decided to make us return to the office 5 days a week, so we convened for lunch to share how this policy is impacting our members. We are united! ✊

Even after weeks of aggressive union-busting tactics from management, we persevered and now are able to say that we were a part of the first successful organizing effort to take place at The Post under Jeff Bezos’ ownership - that’s history!
