Washington Post staff to strike on Thursday

Hundreds of staff at The Washington Post, one of America’s most storied newspapers, will walk off the job for 24 hours Thursday, their union announced, slamming the company for refusing to negotiate a contract “in good faith.”

The strike comes after 18 months of failed talks to reach a new deal over pay, remote work, and other conditions — and after the daily, owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, warned more layoffs were possible.
