Rent, heat and other costs do not go down in your third holiday season on strike. Can you donate on this #GivingTuesday to help us as we try to hold the @PittsburghPG’s lawbreaking bosses accountable? https://t.co/TCZFc5KU9h

JD Vance is a piece of work. Post-Gazette workers have been on strike for two years, battling relentless union-busting. Today, he crossed the picket line with his op-ed, throwing @ThePUPNews and @cwaunion members under the bus.

NewsGuild prez @gaufre confirms for me that JD Vance crossed a picket line by publishing an op-ed today in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, where workers are on strike. No excuse for it, he says. "JD Vance is a scab just like anybody else who crosses a picket line." h/t @metzgov

Block family members and their cronies stand in the way of ending the strike by continuing to break federal labor law. Join us in demanding they follow the law by sending them a message here: https://t.co/0OxcvlfkLQ

Just received a marketing call to subscribe to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Me: “Isn’t there still an active strike going on there?” Woman: “Oh no - they settled that.” Me: “Really? Interesting! You know how I know that’s not true?!” Woman: “I’m just doing my job sir.”

I got the opportunity to speak at the Golden Quills dinner tonight after accepting the Press Club Scholarship. Union solidarity forever and always, in private and in public.

Just back from being interviewed for 1.5 hours about the strike by Obama Academy’s The Eagle Times. Lucy had done her homework and knew the facts and players, let me explain what she didn't know, and let me brag on @ThePUPNews and its people. There's hope for journalism yet.

🚨HUGE🚨We needed some good news, and we damn sure got it‼️One (GIANT) step closer. #WeFightWeWin

We are thrilled that the NLRB announced it’s seeking an injunction against the @postgazette. The PG could've avoided this by simply agreeing to dignified terms with us & our striking union siblings @cwaunion & PPPWU at any point in the last 18 months.. https://t.co/seqtrZTzse

Two D candidates, Jack Stollsteimer and Keir Bradford-Gray, crossed the @PGHGuild picket line to do an interview. This is disqualifying and voters should take note.

That striking Pittsburgh news workers get their consistently strongest support in the Pittsburgh media landscape from college students (@Communique_CU / @thathakas / @Gatesy35 and @ppuglobe) says a LOT, but I take away a little, rare hope for the future of journalism. Thank you!

You're goddamn right I report @TheRealNews w/ a button honoring our colleagues @ThePUPNews, who have been on strike @PittsburghPG for 18 months (& still doing some of the best journalism around without pay). Frankly, I think every other journalist should be doing the same ❤️✊🏽

Why would you read what a scab has to say about this? Abby crossed a picket line to take her job at the @PittsburghPG after the Blocks illegally cut off health care. Do not click this or any other PG links until our demands are met. Instead:

The thing about journalism is, it's really hard to just properly do the job, much less at the same time save the profession and the industry.

As our leaders have said repeatedly: we’re not asking for the sun and the moon. We’re asking for common decency: -Raises to match inflation and address inequities -Keep our 401K match -Enact a family leave policy comparable to the industry standard -No robots
