59:34Now PlayingTwo years ago, the workers of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette walked off the job on strike. The Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh has been in negotiations for a contract with Post Gazette management for SEVEN years—since 2017—and have battled bad faith bargaining, illegal and unilaterally imposed changes to working conditions, and loss of vacation time and insurance benefits. In October 2022, newsroom workers voted to go on strike, and strike they did. Now, two years later, the workers of the Post Gazette are still on strike, and—despite the NLRB upholding their Unfair Labor Practice charges against the company—still have a long way to go to total victory. Today, we’ve brought some of the striking workers onto the show to talk about the last two years of striking, the welcome updates from the NLRB, and what’s next for the workers as their battle continues.
Panelists include:
Rick Nowlin, news assistant, editorial writer, and PG archivist
Bob Batz Jr., veteran editor, writer, photographer, and Interim Editor of the Pittsburgh Union Progress (PUP)
Steve Mellon, veteran photographer and writer, and regular PUP contributor
John Santa, copy editor, page designer, and sports writer for the PUP
Natalie Duleba, page designer, copy editor, web editor, and award-winning PUP contributor
