The Blocks lost in court.
They lost before the Labor Board.
They lost in their city and among their staff.
And in true loser fashion, their final move was to take their ball and go home. These are pathetic people.

NEW: Publishers of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette announce they are shutting down the newspaper on May 3, 2026.
Hours ago, the Supreme Court of the US declined to extend a stay on a court order for the paper to pay its journalists following the end of a 3-year strike.

This is awful. In a time where high quality news is rare and important, another local news room is shutting down.
The Post-Gazette was the newspaper I grew up on, and now they're shutting down because they don't want to comply with labor laws.
