Let’s Rally and Celebrate with our Pittsburgh Union Siblings!

Our union siblings at the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh have been on strike against the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette since Oct. 18, 2022. Now, after 22 months of standing up for their rights and fighting for a fair contract, Pittsburgh Guild members have received cause for celebration from the National Labor Relations Board.

Today at 2:00 p.m. EDT, the Pittsburgh Guild will be hosting a Digital Zoom Rally. All IAPE members are invited to join them in solidarity, virtually, of course. We would love to see you there!

The August 14 edition of Pittsburgh Union Progress, the strike publication produced by Guild members since the beginning of this dispute, first broke news of the NLRB filing “for an injunction seeking to have a federal court step in to end an almost two-year strike and put striking Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers back to work.”

If the injunction is approved by a judge, Post-Gazette management would be required to bring striking Guild members back to work under terms of an illegally violated 2014-17 contract.

To celebrate this momentous event, Pittsburgh Guild President Zack Tanner is inviting all fellow CWA members to a Digital Zoom Rally, happening today, Tuesday, Aug. 20, at 2:00 p.m. EDT. He will also be sharing more details about the filing as well as ways to continue to help give them the best chance of winning this long-running strike.

It has been a long hard fight for our union siblings and they recognize they would not have made it this far without support from fellow Guilds and CWA union members.

In Solidarity!
