BIG NEWS: The @PittsburghPG has broken federal labor law so viciously for so long that the @NLRB has filed for an injunction that, if granted, would go a long way toward holding the Block family accountable and returning a caliber of news to Pittsburgh this community deserves.

What's this you ask? Why it's us WITH A CONTRACT!!!!! It is what we fought for and now we have it. Thank you!!! To our readers, to residents who stopped by and talked to us while we were picketing, to all the local officials federal, state and local who stood with us.
Thank you to everyone who supported the @rocnewsguild as we fought - hard - for this contract. Many picketed with us, some in the rain. Some fed us and others offered support from afar. No matter how you helped, we appreciated your support. THANK YOU!

HUGE props to the members of @rocnewsguild, who won a new contract with @gannett today after a two-year fight and a historic **19-day** strike. Solidarity always gets the goods 🤝
NEWS: This morning our members unanimously ratified a new two-year contract, our first since 2019. It comes after more than two years of negotiations with @nyguild and a 19-day strike in April, the first in our history. ✊✊✊
This is seriously one of my proudest moments. @rocnewsguild ratified a 2-year contract today. The most important provision: some chronically underpaid coworkers will be getting substantial and overdue pay raises.
