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.

Unlike the many previous rulings in our favor against the PG, the 3rd Circuit has enforcement power.

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.

"What I have learned over the past 3 years is that the people I can count on are the ones who are in it with me."

That includes so many of you. Would you be willing to make a donation to our strike fund today?

"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."

Tomorrow, our unfair labor practice strike against @post-gazette.com marks it's third full year. Three years of fighting the most lawless union-busting campaign can be tiring, but we're never going to quit fighting.

Last night, we were uplifted to see a new sign adorning the Pittsburgh skyline...

In addition to detailing the struggles strikers have faced, including local law enforcement physically breaking picket lines and executive editor Stan Wischnowski attempting to criminally prosecute one of his own reporters, Tuesday night’s proclamation stressed the importance of local journalism.

Happy Labor Day. Today, we marked 1,049 days on strike against @post-gazette.com management who have been running the most lawless union-busting campaign in America.

The longest active strikers in the country marched in Pittsburgh's Labor Day parade wearing our new Union Progress newshound shirts.

Tomorrow, the striking workers sit down with @post-gazette.com management in court ordered mediation to attempt to resolve our issues and settle the strike. PG executive editor Stan Wischnowski has the power to end the strike and choose to hide instead.

Today we’re telling him again how we feel.

Emily Escalante is a resident of Pittsburgh's Mexican War Streets neighborhood and a member of the Block Communications, Inc. board of directors.

Emily sits in her gentrified home and hides her true identity as a union-buster.

Today, we hung flyers in her neighborhood to reveal who she really is.

We raised tens of thousands of dollars for our strike fund at the @cwaunion.bsky.social Convention this week. AND as a union we voted to raise strike pay. At the exact moments when the @post-gazette.com hopes we’ll give up, our union siblings sent a very clear message:

We Don’t Play At CWA!
August 13, 2025 at 6:02 PM
The PG has hired cops, scabs, “security,” and lawyers all in search of weaknesses and waiting us out. But @cwaunion.bsky.social president Claude Cummings Jr., CWA District 2-13 VP Mike Davis, @newsguild.org president Jon Schleuss and everyone who rallied showed why it can’t be done.
August 13, 2025 at 6:02 PM
We wanted to welcome @post-gazette.com editor Stan Wischnowski to work today, but unfortunately Stan can’t be bothered to come up with a plan to settle our strike. (The company did accuse of us “graffitiing” the parking lot though…)

See you next time, Stan!

Striking page designer @johnnysantapup.bsky.social joins the @aflcio.org “It’s Better in a Union” bus tour to talk about what union solidarity means after over 1000 days on strike against @post-gazette.com.
July 21, 2025 at 4:41 PM
This week marked 1,000(!) days on strike. It shouldn't take this long to stop the @post-gazette.com from mocking labor law and the courts. But as Ed Blazina puts it:

"We get through with the kindness of strangers."

Can that include you today?

This afternoon, @nlrbgov.bsky.social requested that the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court hold @post-gazette.com in contempt for refusing to restore the health insurance plan that the court ordered be restored in March.
June 17, 2025 at 10:06 PM
On Saturday, @pghguild.com striking worker Natalie Duleba spoke the truth at PGH's #NoKingsDay rally: When journalists are targeted, it's working people who suffer most.

Rich owners like the Blocks will do anything but provide fair wages and worker protections. We won't let them win.

BIG news: Today the federal judges who granted us an injunction last month ordering the @post-gazette.com to restore our illegally-taken health care DENIED the company’s desperate attempts to rehear the case, delay justice and cut its *current* workers out of the plan we’ve won back.
April 29, 2025 at 4:54 PM
Last week, a Circuit Court ordered @post-gazette.com to restore the health care it illegally took away years ago. It's a great sign we’re going to get everything this strike has fought for. Clearly, the Blocks need you to break this down for them.

Will you? tinyurl.com/DearBCI

BREAKING: Today the 3rd Circuit Court enjoined the
@post-gazette.com ordering the company to — upon request — immediately restore the health care it illegally took away in 2020, and bargain with us.

This is an enormous win and the most consequential day of our entire strike.
