A statement from Post Guild leadership on the Washington Post's decision to not endorse a presidential candidate Statement from The Washington Post Guild: We are deeply concerned that The Washington Post — an American news institution in the nation's capital — would make the decision to no longer endorse presidential candidates, especially a mere 11 days ahead of an immensely consequential election.

Today, we came into WaPo’s so-called town hall with questions about recent layoffs and the future of the company.

Our publisher dropped a bombshell on us by announcing more layoffs and then walking out, refusing to answer any of our questions. At the end of the event, publisher Fred Ryan announced a “single-digit decrease” in the workforce in Q1 of 2023.

In the same breath, Ryan said The Post will continue to grow. He didn’t say whether those laid off would be offered the chance to be rehired or reassigned.

Tomorrow, WaPo hosts a company “town hall.” Employees sent questions in advance, but our publisher Fred Ryan rarely answers the hard ones. None are taken live.

But after brutal layoffs, we want answers about WaPo’s future. Democracy Dies in Darkness, right? Here’s what we asked: Will there be more layoffs? In the event of future cuts, will WaPo make an effort to find positions for those people inside the company as we continue to hire and grow?

The Washington Post has never conducted and released to the public a comprehensive pay study.

So this year, in the absence of a Post-sponsored audit, the Post Guild decided to do one itself. postguild.org/2019-pay-study/ Our contract states that Post management must give our union access to the pay data of employees on an annual basis.

We received this information in July 2019 and have spent the past four months investigating pay at The Post.

This is what we found: postguild.org/2019-pay-study/
