Last night Washingtonian Guild turned out to the Washingtonian Most Powerful Women event to share OUR voices and advocate for living wages and other policies to address our serious gender pay gap problem.
Let CEO Merrill Williams know you stand with the women of Washingtonian Guild! #WashMagMPW
*looks at notes* so we have a women-owned business that is throwing an event celebrating women while it actually subjects many of its female employees to unfair and unlivable salaries?
do better Washingtonian 🌸
The women of Washingtonian Guild deserve to be paid enough to raise families, live in the region they cover, and afford basic essentials. I couldn’t do any of that on my $38k salary there.
This talented staff deserves better.

Read that again: The HIGHEST PAID woman in the union makes the same as the LOWEST paid man.
Merrill Williams cannot claim to support women in the community and brag about her woman-owned business while failing her own female staff.
Solidarity with Washingtonian Guild ✊
THIS IS SO DISGUSTING!! If I was a man at Washingtonian 🌸 I’d be making a livable wage. SHOCKING for a women owned business to claim they celebrate women while refusing to pay them??! Make it make sense.
These stats are SHOCKING. Support Washingtonian Guild and tell CEO Merrill Williams to support women on her staff with fair pay and parental leave!
Merrill Williams & Washingtonian management need to pay their insanely talented staff what they’re worth!!
& a note on salary transparency: I came to Washingtonian straight after 👩🎓 and was shocked by my raise when moving to a new org. I had no idea how much I was being underpaid, and Washingtonian Guild and others are doing amazing work to make this industry fairer for everyone
Solidarity with Washingtonian Guild! During my time at Washingtonian in 2017, I struggled to make ends meet—my rent was almost my entire monthly income and I volunteered to work events and write dining stories for free meals. Situations like this harm our whole industry.
Proud to stand in solidarity with Washingtonian Guild in their fight for fair wages. Merrill Williams it’s time to pay this exceptional staff what they’re worth.
People need #LivableWages . Anything less is inhumane.
Pls take a minute to read the testimonies of the underpaid workers of the #Washingtonian and why Merrill Williams MUST agree to cost-of-living raises and #LiveableSalaries .
