I am a longtime WAMU 88.5 sustaining member. I hesitate to do anything that would harm what remains of the newsroom, but I am not sure I am interested in sustaining this kind of leadership any longer.

This is the 10th REI store to unionize, out of 181, with active campaigns elsewhere. It’s not hard to see this snowballing and the union(s) achieving pretty meaningful density across the chain.

🚨NEW: The NLRB is seeking an injunction against the illegal behavior at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh 🗞 has been on strike for 18 months.

“It’s been a long wait, but this is a big relief for us.” says Natalie is on strike with PGH NewsGuild, a striking Post-Gazette worker
