WTH is happening in Pittsburgh?

Grab the popcorn ... the Block brothers are going to court for control of the company.

Family feud: Lawsuit says Post-Gazette publisher wants to sell paper as brothers clash

 

The part where John claims to be the "sovereign" of the company is cute.

 

Seriously ... just have them slap fight it out at One Government Center in Toledo. Raise money for charity!

 

Allan Block was canned as chairman and CEO of the company that owns the Post-Gazette (and the Toledo Blade):

Block Communications, Inc. board removes chairman and CEO Allan Block

 

Sale to Alden upcoming?

 

The NLRB formally files for a 10-J injunction. If successful, this puts the expired contract back into effect and will force the P-G to pay damages. It's not something the NLRB does often.

October will mark two full years since this so-called strike began. In the online news era, the public has felt minimal impacts while some journalists have crossed the picket line and new hires like Jon Salant have come on board.

At 71, I could walk away. But I can’t. I owe it to my colleagues who had the courage to take a stand in October 2022.​

LOL, yeah this retired college professor/part-time copy editor can't walk away because then there would only be like 2 people left on strike.

 

Kamala Harris was in Pittsburgh today, for Labor Day. She voiced opposition to Nippon Steel's proposed purchase of U.S. Steel. Not one word about the 23-month-long strike at the Post Gazette. Biden joins Harris in Pittsburgh for Labor Day campaign speech
