This Holiday Season, Support Pittsburgh Guild Members

Our union siblings at the Pittsburgh Post Gazette have been on strike since October 18th, 2022. 

Despite a lack of income and loss of their healthcare coverage, these Guild members have remained committed to their efforts and each other. They’ve even started their own publication, The Pittsburgh Union Progress (subscribe here), which not only provides updates on their strike and efforts of other labor unions but also produces its own local news stories. 

Strikers have brought Scabby to a wedding, purchased flyovers at football games, and have held many, many fundraisers including this recent holiday bake sale.

One of the efforts that IAPE has been proud to support is the Adopt-a-Striker program, where our union makes weekly payments to help offset the day-to-day costs of one of the strikers. We’ve been participating in this program since February 2023, and, at this Tuesday’s IAPE Board of Directors meeting, our Board voted to continue sponsoring our striker until a deal is reached or a reassessment can be made in 6 months. 

In the spirit of the holiday season, help us spread some more cheer Pittsburgh’s way by donating to their strike fund and participating in the Pittsburgh Strike Santa program.

In Solidarity!
