    We struck to win back — among other things — our health care. You just voted to take health care away from thousands of people, many of whom you know will die as a result. You have much more in common w/ the Blocks than us. Keep our name far, far away from your murderous mouth.

    John Robinson Block, the @PittsburghPG publisher who was behind the reprehensible editorial "Reason for Racism," will not allow this letter to the editor to appear in the newspaper. We offer it here.

    Yesterday, dozens of our members shared this post, word for word, in a showing of solidarity with @alexisjreports. By Friday night, in our view, the Post-Gazette’s retaliation began. x.com/alexisjreports…

    BREAKING: We did win! Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @PittsburghPG to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for for 3+ years.
    With Downtown Pittsburgh in the background, three banners hang off the Roberto Clemente Bridge, reading "POST-GAZETTE STRIKERS WILL WIN." It is dusk with a soft lavender sky in the background as street lights have begun to turn on along the bridges.

    "Hey Allan, why won't you reach an agreement with your workers?" "Oh fuck you" [/burger bag slap] ... As they say, watch 'til the end. This is @PittsburghPG co-owner Allan Block and his wife, Susan. So are we holding power to account today, or no?

    In a huge victory for our members, a federal arbitrator has ruled that the Post-Gazette violated our contract by refusing to pay raises to our health care premiums for the last two years.

    BIG NEWS: The @PittsburghPG has broken federal labor law so viciously for so long that the @NLRB has filed for an injunction that, if granted, would go a long way toward holding the Block family accountable and returning a caliber of news to Pittsburgh this community deserves.

    We are thrilled that the NLRB announced it’s seeking an injunction against the @postgazette. The PG could've avoided this by simply agreeing to dignified terms with us & our striking union siblings @CWAUnion & PPPWU at any point in the last 18 months.. pghguild.com/2024/04/19/lab…
    PITTSBURGH - On Thursday, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) announced that it is seeking an injunction pursuant to Section 10() of the National Labor Relations Act against the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for dozens of ongoing unfair labor practice violations of federal law, 18 months after workers struck to compel the newspaper to follow the law and provide health insurance to workers. In October of 2022, Post-Gazette management unilaterally cut off the health care of its production, advertising and distribution workers by refusing to pay a $19-per-week increase in health care costs. The workers, represented by WA, PPPWU and Teamsters local unions, went on strike on Oct. 6. The Post-Gazette had already violated federal labor law with respect to its newsroom editorial workers - members of the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh-CWA - in July of 2020 when it declared an illegal end to bargaining and unilaterally imposed new working conditions.
    "As striking workers, we've stood strong against Post-Gazette management and the Block family for the last 18 months as they've violated labor law and tried to ignore and break our unions," said Zack Tanner, president of the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh. "Today's signal that the NLRB will finally be seeking injunctive relief through the courts is validation that our fight is just and will be won in short order." The NLRB encourages parties to resolve cases by settlement rather than litigation whenever possible, and more than 90% of meritorious unfair labor practice cases are settled by agreement at some point in the process, according to the NLRB. Post-Gazette
    representatives, however, have repeatedly rejected basic settlements. They have also refused to bargain in good faith, a violation of federal law. "It's great that the NLRB is seeking an injunction against Post-Gazette management for repeatedly breaking federal law," said NewsGuild-CWA President Jon Schleuss. "Employers cannot be allowed to actively harm workers. The Post-Gazette could settle this and limit their liability at any time. The NewsGuild-CWA will continue to fight for journalists and media workers in Pittsburgh and across the continent." Post-Gazette management has hired police and private security to intimidate and threaten strikers.
    "The Post-Gazette has had the ability to settle the strike at any time, simply by complying with the law, as ordered by the courts and through NLRB decisions," said Mike Davis, Vice President of WA District 2-13. "It is unfortunate that the Post-Gazette's continued unlawful violation of workers' rights has undermined the rule of law and forced the government to seek an injunction to achieve justice." Supporters can donate to the strikers and subscribe to the striking-worker run publication, the Pittsburgh Union Progress at unionprogress.com.
