Workers at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh launched their campaign to become members of the USW with a public celebration on Sunday, March 24, on the city’s North Side. The 65 workers would join museum workers at Pittsburgh’s four Carnegie museum sites as part of the USW.

Pittsburgh comedy legend. Count Floyd was based on Chilly Billy Cardille's Chiller Theater. Started out at the Pgh Playhouse before SC in Chicago, and one time went missing from SCTV for days to attend Clemente's funeral in Puerto Rico. RIP to one of the funniest yinzers ever

Drink for every Pittsburgh reference. RIP Joe Flaherty! youtu.be/MEjdt_n1l-4?si…

Wednesday April 3 2024 Oh man. Pittsburgh Radio Legend Larry O'Brien 81 has d. One Of The Greatest Radio Morning Shows Ever, O'Brien & Garry were on Pittsburgh's WTAE 1250 AM & 96.1 WHTX for years. We just lost John Garry 91, 7 months ago. O'B & G were 2 of My Radio Heroes.

14 yrs ago today. 29 coal miners killed at Massey Energy's Upper Big Branch Mine in WV. Inadequate ventilation. Excessive coal dust. Production over safety. Tepid federal regulation. NPR spent a year investigating. (Photo by Jeff Gentner/AP) npr.org/series/1319601…

Tuesday, MSHA_DOL will release its final regulation on silica dust in coal and other mines. Listen to my conversation w/Ayesha Rascoe for the Sunday Story podcast to hear why it took 50 years to do this, while thousands of coal miners were sick and dying. npr.org/2023/11/19/119…

FTC announces special Open Commission Meeting on rule to ban #noncompetes. Meeting to be held virtually on Tuesday, April 23, 2024, at 2pm ET: bit.ly/3TYIHR6 /1

Scoop: The NLRB plans to seek an injunction in federal court against the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette over labor law violations. Petition likely to be filed in coming days. Workers at the newspaper have been on strike for 18 months. huffpost.com/entry/pittsbur…

We are thrilled that the NLRB announced it’s seeking an injunction against the post-gazette.com. 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…

I'VE SEEN ENOUGH with roughly 50% of all possible votes in, UAW holds an insurmountable lead which would either require a massive tallying error or statistically improbable remaining vote share to flip. Vw workers voted #UnionYes to join UAW.

The UAW has won in a landslide at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga: 2,628 to 985. This is the first plant-wide union at a foreign-owned automaker in the South, after years of failed attempts. media.vw.com/en-us/releases…

The FTC just banned noncompete agreements. This is a big deal. Noncompetes trap workers in their jobs and prevent them from using their skills to earn higher pay. It's estimated that the ban could increase wages by $300 billion a year and impact nearly 30 million Americans.
