Breitbart ^ | 12/06/2023 | Simon Kent

Posted on 12/06/2023 10:05:39 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Hundreds of Washington Post staff will go on strike Thursday and ahead of the industrial action have released a video message, pleading for public support during the 24-hour stoppage.

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

“Do it.”

Yup. Go on strike, let the paper collapse, and then collect aluminum cans for a living.

Seems to me, that as a survival oof the business action, does mean a leaner staff, with the already settled salaries. To threaten to strike now, would cause a larger collapse of staff, with the strikers’ positions being deleted, theeefore ineligible to receive unemployment money, since there is no position to be unemployed from!

maybe they should go the NPR route and every December they dedicate 3/4 of their paper to begging for money..

But, We’ll give you this nice WaPa umbrella for your $250 donation...

Its just for 24 hours. They will have to get by on lying to their friends, family, and colleagues, not millions at a time for one day. It’ll be traumatic for some, I can guarantee it. Hell, I’d volunteer to be a Pinkerton for these a-holes...

Nothing to be too happy about.

Bezos can afford to support their worthless attempts at journalism. Maybe if they reported THE TRUTH they wouldn’t have to beg.

People respect honesty. So maybe the Washington Post would get more readers if they change their name to the Washington Pravda. And make this guy an honorary editor.

They need to go to the gates at CIA HQ in Langley and get on their knees and beg to their masters.
