Bargaining Update: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette June Update

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Gannett, and Insider

Hundreds of journalists have been on strike at different outlets, including Insider and two dozen Gannett newsrooms, while journalists, mailers, advertising salespeople, and accounts receivable workers at the Pittsburgh Post Gazette remain on strike.
