Imagine going five years without receiving a single pay raise. Sound like a bad dream? For production workers at the Washington Post it's a harsh reality.
Production workers are the people that get the Post ready for delivery. They work mostly nights and weekends, and their work is difficult and dirty. But what's really dirty is the way executives at the Post have been treating them.
After four years of negotiations, the Post is still refusing to negotiate a fair contract. And while production workers are fighting for a living wage, executives have rewarded themselves with millions in bonuses. And now those executives want to take away the production workers' pension - which is almost entirely employee funded.
Washington Post production workers need your help. Let the Post know you want them to treat their workers with fairness and respect.
