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.

A lot of emotion in the @pghguild.com newsroom this weekend as we make, edit and publish what looks to be the last Sunday strike paper. It's full of champions and winners, doers and helpers. And I'm talking about its journalists: www.unionprogress.com

It is completely absurd that this fight (of 3 years ‼️) was even necessary, but when bosses steal, we fight, and we do NOT give up.

So proud of the tenacity, courage and persistence of our Pittsburgh family ✊💪celebrating with you today.

The order affirms what we’ve said all along: The PG’s lawless union-busting cannot stand. We made sure it didn’t. We’re taking back what they stole from us. We won this strike.

"We must band together as journalists, as working class people, to hold power to account & speak the truth. A community's journalism can only do that & get better if the journalists who work there consider it their home, have skin in the game & fight for it. That's what we're doing."
