The Washington Post Guild is 'infuriated' about a looming workforce reduction at the newspaper owned by Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos, one of the world's richest people. The Washington Post announced on Tuesday it will be offering 'voluntary separation packages' to employees across all functions, eliminating 240 positions. The Post Guild, which has been advocating for Post employees since 1934, blasted the decision.
Guild leadership will work in the coming days to secure the most fair and generous buyout package for our members and support all of our colleagues impacted by these buyouts.' The Washington Post did not immediately respond when asked about the Guild’s social media posts.
