WBNG will proceed to arbitration on June 4, 2026, challenging the wrongful termination of @KarenAttiah, former Global Opinions Editor and columnist at @washingtonpost.
Attiah served the Post for 11 years with an unblemished disciplinary record. Under the @PostGuild Collective Bargaining Agreement, bypassing progressive discipline requires proof of “gross misconduct” — a threshold management cannot meet.

We have overwhelmingly voted to go on STRIKE as we fight for a fair contract with McClatchy Media and its five Pacific Northwest newspapers.
Our demands are simple: Protections against AI and wages that keep up with inflation.

Now NYT management needs to agree to common sense AI guardrails with @NYTimesGuild
“To be clear on AI: All writing and visuals that freelancers submit to The Times must be the product of human creativity and craft, and all submissions must consist solely of their original reporting, writing and other work”
The age of the AI backlash has arrived.
