PUP reprint: Our Helen Fallon had THE story on Oppenheimer back in October: unionprogress.com/2023/10/12/cla…

Why would you read what a scab has to say about this? Abby crossed a picket line to take her job at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette after the Blocks illegally cut off health care. Do not click this or any other PG links until our demands are met. Instead: UnionProgress.com/subscribe

You're goddamn right I report The Real News w/ a button honoring our colleagues Pittsburgh Union Progress 📰, who have been on strike Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for 18 months (& still doing some of the best journalism around without pay). Frankly, I think every other journalist should be doing the same ❤️✊🏽


That striking Pittsburgh news workers get their consistently strongest support in the Pittsburgh media landscape from college students (Communiqué / Abigail Hakas / Carson Gates and Point Park Globe) says a LOT, but I take away a little, rare hope for the future of journalism. Thank you!

Two D candidates, Jack Stollsteimer and Keir Bradford-Gray, crossed the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh 🗞 picket line to do an interview. This is disqualifying and voters should take note.

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…



Just back from being interviewed for 1.5 hours about the strike by Obama Academy’s The Eagle Times. Lucy had done her homework and knew the facts and players, let me explain what she didn't know, and let me brag on Pittsburgh Union Progress 📰 and its people. There's hope for journalism yet.





NewsGuild prez Jon Schleuss supports PittsburghPG strikers confirms for me that JD Vance crossed a picket line by publishing an op-ed today in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, where workers are on strike. No excuse for it, he says. "JD Vance is a scab just like anybody else who crosses a picket line." h/t bryan metzger

JD Vance is a piece of work. Post-Gazette workers have been on strike for two years, battling relentless union-busting. Today, he crossed the picket line with his op-ed, throwing Pittsburgh Union Progress 📰 and @cwaunion members under the bus.

Rent, heat and other costs do not go down in your third holiday season on strike. Can you donate on this #GivingTuesday to help us as we try to hold the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s lawbreaking bosses accountable? cwa.org/ppgholiday
