The strike ain’t over yet, but there is light.

It’s been a long 18 months, but what’s right is right. And worth fighting for.

🚨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

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Is In Some Hot Water huffpost.com/entry/pittsbur…

THE STRIKE ISN'T OVER. Without informing any of the other units, the Teamsters stabbed us in the backs and negotiated a buyout to benefit themselves. Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh 🗞 members are still working for a fair contract for us and the other units that remain on strike.

Truly an incredible thing to see. Total solar eclipse as seen from the shores of Lake Erie in Westfield, NY.

He’s got a whole “I’m really unloading” diagrama!!

“AI cannot replace the skill and talent of a human being,” said Jen Kundrach, a PG page designer and illustrator on strike. “But that won't stop greedy business owners from attempting to use it to replace skilled artists.”

Sunday PUP: We love our Helen Fallon's and Alexandra Wimley's feature on Claire and Irvin, two of the most Pittsburgh iggles -- er, eagles -- you'll ever see. They are expected to have some big news any day now: unionprogress.com/2024/02/25/gre…

This PUP loves to be picked up, so we're delighted that PublicSource published the story by our Steve Mellon, Alexandra Wimley and Jen is ON STRIKE on East Palestine, Ohio, on the year anniversary of the life-upending derailment there: publicsource.org/east-palestine…

A year after a train derailment unleashed a cloud of toxic fumes over a small town in Eastern Ohio, many families have abandoned their homes as they seek to rebuild their lives from the wreckage. buff.ly/4boEA8x

Lonnie has nightmares about fire, rats, health problems. Deane & Debbie don’t want to leave the home they got married in 40 years ago. Nathan moved his family out of town… On a frigid and fiery night one year ago, a train upended lives in East Palestine: unionprogress.com/2024/01/31/on-…

Our big story is Steve Mellon's narrative about the East Palestine derailment and some of the lives it upended, with photos by Alexandra Wimley and maps by Jen is ON STRIKE. It's part of our year-anniversary coverage collaboration with the New Castle News: unionprogress.com/2024/01/31/on-…

A year ago today, a judge ruled that @pittsburghPG broke labor law by imposing working conditions & bargaining in bad faith. We already knew the PG would rather bust the union than follow the law. Like so much of what we fight for, this is not just our problem.

We condemn the @pittsburghpg for using artificial intelligence to create an illustration that ran in Sunday’s paper. It’s a dangerous precedent and another slap in the face as the company’s latest attempt to slash workers’ rights: pghguild.com/2024/01/23/ai-…
