Teamsters and CWA (Communications Workers of America)
The workers who are responsible for designing, printing, distributing, advertising sales and accounts receivables at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette are on strike. They are members of Communications Workers of America (CWA) Locals 14842 and 14827, Teamsters Local 205/211 and Pressmen’s Union GCC/IBT Local 24M/9N.
They have not had a pay raise in 16 years, and they went on strike after their health insurance was terminated on October 1 which essentially resulted in a lockout because Block Communications, the owners of the Post-Gazette, refused to pay an additional $19 per employee per week to maintain their existing coverage.
Please show your support for their strike by canceling your subscription to the Post-Gazette.
