WTH is happening in Pittsburgh?

"At a time when so many local newspapers have been gobbled up by budget-slashing profit-minded corporations, many journalists have yearned for the days when local families owned the papers and managed them with a sense of civic commitment. And yet the most toxic relationship in American media right now may be between Post-Gazette journalists and its publisher, whose family has owned the paper for nearly a century."

BUMP
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette union journalists will vote to go on strike

 

On the one hand striking now is pure folly, but I also admire their willingness to take a stand.

 

Fucking great. Just what management needs to de-legitimize the union and any labor actions. Dipshit.

 

I am not saying he is not a scumbag, but the timing is really interesting. A similar thing happened at the Boston Globe years ago when they were in the middle of contentious labor negotiations.

 

Shocking:

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette endorses Trump for handling of economy; first GOP presidential endorsement since 1972

 

The Blocks would definitely back fascists

 

Well done, Newspaper Guild:

A Powerful Reporter Got Away With Sexual Misconduct for Decades. His Paper, and His Union, Looked the Other Way.

 

The ending of that makes me want to put my fist through a wall.
