Power At Work Blogcast #44: Behind the Bylines: Surviving the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Epic 18-Month Strike

May 7, 2024
53:19

In this blogcast, Burnes Center for Social Change Senior Fellow Seth Harris is joined by Emily Matthews, striking photographer and Treasurer of the Post-Gazette Branch of the Pittsburgh Newspaper Guild, and Natalie Duleba, striking designer and union member, to discuss what their contract demands are, their experiences after 18 months on the picket line, and how they are keeping their union siblings motivated.

Tune in to hear about how union members have been supporting one another throughout the strike, recent developments in the strike, including a possible National Labor Relations Board  injunction against the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, and the importance of protections and benefits for workers in industries like journalism that have been disrupted and where workers face a great deal of uncertainty.
