“If Condé can get away with this—and with President Donald Trump sabotaging the NLRB, the company appears to be betting that it can—it will send a message to unions and employers across our industry that the foundations of labor law are collapsing.”

'This is everyone’s win': Striking PG workers celebrate a big victory - Pittsburgh Union Progress Monday started out as one of those cold, dreary Pittsburgh Mondays that you have to plod through as if it were sticky and slick with mud. The previous night’s Steelers’ game, a loss, made it worse. Yi...

“You all know how grateful I am to all of you and to everyone’s families,” he said. “The sacrifices you’ve made. You’ve gone above and beyond what anyone could ever ask for. So, I just want to say cheers to the strikers. Cheers to the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh."

BREAKING: We won!

Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

White text on a red background reads: "As this process unfolds, we enter new territory for The Baffler but not for our industry: in unionizing, we will be joining our peers at outlets like Harpers, Jacobin, Jewish Currents, The Nation, The New Republic, The American Prospect, and New York Focus. We undertake this effort with optimism and in the spirit of consensus and solidarity."

White text on a red background reads: "The Baffler has grown over the last few years, with many new staff members coming aboard, and has developed a strong presence as a serious magazine of incisive ideas for the left. We believe unionizing is a natural next step in the evolution of the magazine. In doing so, we are motivated foremost by the desire to strengthen our organization through collective action and support."
