Washington Post Staffers Stage One-Day Strike

Hundreds of Washington Post employees walked off the job Thursday for a one-day strike, the culmination of long-simmering tensions between workers and management over pay, workplace policies and planned job cuts.

The publication’s union said it expected more than 750 staffers—including newsroom employees—to join the strike, which it said was the first of this scale since the 1970s. The Post newsroom is made up of more than 1,000 employees.
