Another Byline Strike Hits 'Wash. Post'

Posted
By: Todd Shields Writers at The Washington Post last week staged their second byline strike this year, withholding their names from stories in a five-day job action that began Tuesday.

Members of the Washington-Baltimore Newspaper Guild, which represents 1,450 workers at the Post, have been without a contract since the old one expired May 18. The dispute centers upon pay, vacation benefits, and whether union members should be able to relinquish membership at any time or only during a limited period each year.

Post executives said they remain ready to meet with the union. Guild officials said no talks were scheduled.
