Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

As CWA members continue to fight for a fair contract at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette with the longest running strike in the United States, the Supreme Court ruled to uphold the members’ right to picket. CWA District 2-13 VP Mike Davis stated: 

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania rightly saw through the Post-Gazette’s attempts to intimidate workers exercising their right to join together and has denied the PG’s effort to waste all of our time in court when we should be meeting at the bargaining table. CWA members have been on strike for more than two years, and with their dedication and solidarity, they have won important legal victories that affirm the rights of all working people in Pennsylvania.
