Happy Labor Day. Today, we marked 1,049 days on strike against @post-gazette.com management who have been running the most lawless union-busting campaign in America.
The longest active strikers in the country marched in Pittsburgh's Labor Day parade wearing our new Union Progress newshound shirts.
The @pghguild.com strike paper, the Pittsburgh Union Progress, wishes fellow union members and workers and especially its relentless supporters a very happy Labor Day. Here's something Brad Everett, Emily Matthews, John Santa and Steve Rotstein made for you: www.unionprogress.com/2025/08/31/b...

Zohran Mamdani won a clear mandate - but the Democratic political/media elite is already trying to downplay it & pretend it was just vibes rather than a demand for policy change.
The battle for the future has just begun. www.levernews.com/zohran-mamda...
This afternoon, @nlrbgov.bsky.social requested that the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court hold @post-gazette.com in contempt for refusing to restore the health insurance plan that the court ordered be restored in March.

BIG news: Today the federal judges who granted us an injunction last month ordering the @post-gazette.com to restore our illegally-taken health care DENIED the company’s desperate attempts to rehear the case, delay justice and cut its *current* workers out of the plan we’ve won back.

We requested @post-gazette.com give the improved health care we recently won to all bargaining unit employees. To be clear, the 3rd Circuit Court already ordered the PG to do this. It’s just delaying in an attempt to deny its CURRENT employees health care.
