The National Labor and Industrial Relations Commission is seeking a return to its original state and seeking a salary recovery for former Washington Post reporter Felicia Sonmez, who was fired in 2022 after attacking colleagues and vehemently criticizing the paper on social media.
After Sonmez continued to condemn other postal journalists online, he condemned other postal journalists online for calling for civilization at the time executive editor Sally Buzbee. Washington – The Baltimore Press Association has filed unfair labor practice charges against Sanmiz’s firing. NLRB, Guild and Washington Post each submitted a summary Friday.
“Frankly, the respondents were just tired of Sonmez’s Twitter campaigns that criticized the position and its policies, as well as its implementation (or lack of them). In response, the respondent decided to bypass its progressive discipline system and fire her for these criticisms,” NLRB prosecutors said.

When asked to dismiss the complaint, the Post believed that allowing Sonmez to return to the company would “cause uncontrollable and unacceptable damage” and mentioned the action that led to her being dismissed as “7 Days of Tirade.”
“Sonmez should not be restored because she lacks the ‘news integrity’ needed to work in the postal newsroom,” the Post said.
The guild believes that under the National Labor and Industrial Relations Act, the postal service infringes on her rights.
The legend began in June 2022, when Sonmez retweeted a joke after his then-colleague Dave Weigel: “Every girl is Bi. You just have to figure out if it’s polar or gender.”
Sonmez was not amused and publicly criticized her colleagues, and also attacked her workplace by reaction: “It’s great to work in a news outlet to allow such retweets!”
Sonmez then initiated a one-day public buoyancy for the position and many of her colleagues.

Weigel was placed on a one-month unpaid suspension, despite deleting the retweet and apologizing. He left the post office and joined Sema, the launch site that was later that year.
But Sonmez’s Tweetstorms brought responsibility to her colleagues, who began to get public push from her Post Plost colleagues, who then publicly attacked.
Throughout her ordeal, she repeatedly tore the paper’s social media policy. Sonmez even targeted the “white” journalists, who expressed their solidarity in the infighting.
“I don’t know who devalued my anonymously in media reports. But I know that the reporters who sent the sync tweet this week downplayed the workplace issues of the post and had some common ground between each other.”

Although Buzbee urged staff to treat each other, Sonmez was fired after frequent viral wars between colleagues. The Washington Post has introduced an updated social media policy following the ordeal.
NLRB prosecutors are seeking to restore their status and to restore their salary for Sonmez, who is now working on Blue Ridge Public Radio. Sonmez declined to comment.
“This decision is now up to the judge,” Somitz wrote on X.
The Washington Post did not immediately respond to Fox News’s request for comment.
