PG NEWS: On January 20th, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) filed contempt charges against the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for defying court orders to restore workers’ health care plan. newsguild.org/labor-board-...

RELEASE: The PG’s announced shutdown does not exempt it from the ruling or its obligation to pay workers what they are owed. That liability continues to accrue until the Post-Gazette restores the previous, contractually bargained terms. newsguild.org/post-gazette...

NEW: Post-Gazette to shut down 240-year-old paper after SCOTUS slaps down company’s bid to evade court order “Instead of simply following the law, the owners chose to punish local journalists and the city of Pittsburgh,” said Goldstein, president of @pghguild.com newsguild.org/pittsburgh-p...

NEW: LA Times journalists (@latguild.bsky.social) approved a new contract after three years of hard-fought negotiations. Under the deal, which covers more than 200 Guild members, every newsroom worker will receive a raise of at least $3,000 in the first year. newsguild.org/los-angeles-...

Today, hundreds of workers at Environmental Defense Fund announced the launch of EDF Together — the largest environmental union in the US. We’re asking EDF to voluntarily recognize our union so that we can begin building a better EDF, together. Learn more: edftogether.org

In Pittsburgh, @pghguild.com Post-Gazette workers returned to the newsroom this past Monday after three years, one month, and five days on strike. Incredible solidarity by these workers during the country's longest strike! www.unionprogress.com/2025/11/11/t...

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 @pghguild.com strike paper's top story: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit orders the PG to restore the striking journalists' contract, including its health care plan, and bargain a new one, and strikers are looking forward to returning to work: www.unionprogress.com/2025/11/10/t...

🚨BREAKING: STRIKERS WIN! 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.

Journalists hold power to account and our @pghguild.com strikers have held Post-Gazette management to account for years. Today the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with us. The company broke the law. pghguild.com/2025/11/10/p...

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. pghguild.com/2025/11/10/p...
