"Taking this historic action is not a decision we came to lightly," the Washington Post Guild said in a letter to readers announcing the work stoppage. The Post Guild represents about 1,000 staff -- both newsroom and commercial employees, according to its website. The labor action at the Post follows a strike earlier this year at America's largest newspaper publisher, Gannett, and a 24-hour action by New York Times staff a year ago.
