Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers have been on strike since October 2022
In October 2022 workers members at the Post-Gazette authorized an unfair labor practice strike. The workers demand Post-Gazette management rescind the illegally imposed unilateral working conditions, restore the status quo set by the terms of the 2014-17 collective bargaining agreement, return to the table to bargain in good faith for a successor agreement and restore health care coverage for press workers, production and advertising workers. More than 100 workers are striking from the newsroom, advertising and production departments.
