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.

...even if they produced, under conditions of a global pandemic, a lot of conflict. That isn't a SC story. Second, the story (which I suspect was primarily sourced by disgruntled volunteers without a great window into the orgs day to day work) doesn't talk at all about the institutional choices

I was acting as a union member and concerned employee when I questioned Stan Duncan, well within my legal rights.
I don't love pointing to my identity, but the company saying that I was behaving "aggressively" when I was calmly asking questions feels like a clear transphobic dog whistle.
