WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!

BREAKING: We won!
Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

The @nytguildtech.bsky.social have been steadfast allies of ours throughout this whole thing and instrumental to showing us how to strike!
One year ago we took a step into the unknown as a unit. We walked out on a ULP strike, fighting for just cause, fair wages, and remote worker protections. A supermajority of our unit participated in this historic action, and it worked - we won our first contract.

This #LaborDay, we’re reflecting on the strength and solidarity union members have shown throughout the past year.
Despite lopsided labor laws, an anti-union administration and a rollback of rights, workers across the country are forming unions with OPEIU and winning the contracts they deserve.

Unions help build stronger workplaces, stronger communities and a stronger democracy.
Workers in high union density states earn a whopping $12,000 more than their counterparts in low union density states. That's the union difference.

Unions boost wages 🚀
On average, a union worker earns 12.8% more in wages than their nonunionized peers.
But unions don’t just help union workers—they help ALL workers by raising standards.

Unions aren’t just good for workers—they also benefit communities and democracy
Rebuilding worker power by strengthening unions is not just good policy—it is a democratic imperative in the face of authoritarian backsliding.
