3rd Circuit Court Orders Post-Gazette to Restore Workers' Rights The U.S. 3rd Circuit Court orders the Post-Gazette to restore workers' rights after a lengthy strike, marking a pivotal victory for union members.

Journalists hold power to account and our @pghguild.com strikers have held Post-Gazette management to account for years. Today the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with us. The company broke the law. pghguild.com/2025/11/10/p...

🚨BREAKING: STRIKERS WIN!

The order affirms what we’ve said all along: The PG’s lawless union-busting cannot stand. We made sure it didn’t. We’re taking back what they stole from us. We won this strike.

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.

HUGE NEWS: @pghguild.com members at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette have won!

For 3 years, workers showed incredible solidarity and strength in the face of relentless and gross union-busting. Now, a court has ordered their contract restored. https://bit.ly/484XIc6

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

2016 and 2024 were bad elections! I know you love being a contrarian, but this is a wild take.

This isn't a closing election argument, it's Vidkun Quisling explaining why surrender is better than resistance.

Having a totenkopf tattoo would get you kicked out (at a minimum) of a mosh pit at any punk or hardcore show and I don't think we should have lower standards than that for the Senate

Yes, we need more senators and representatives to retire and let the next generation lead. But no, term limits are not the answer. Term limits serve the republican anti-government ideology by reducing the institutional knowledge in a legislative body, making them more dependent on shills & lobbyists
