One thing I think gets lost around these @PittsburghPG postings is: No one who fills those positions is entitled to that job once we win. The striker whose job they're scabbing is. File this under "Laws management won't tell you about."

Day 10 of the @PGHGuild strike: I woke up in a shit mood, read a response to us from the company and got more pissed. Then I got to the picket line, talked with my union colleagues, we all formed a reply to the company, and now I feel great. When we fight WE WIN in a lot of ways.

The PG opinion section always had union members, mostly recently as ~2020, before the company illegally imposed work rules to erode jurisdiction. We've had grievances denied about it. @zadri is contributing to the PG's union busting, whether she believes it or not.

@mattirubin I suppose I am a scab in the sense that I work for a paper that is currently being struck. But I am not a scab in the sense that I have never crossed a picket line, as opinion is firmly not in the news guild. Still, I appreciate you asking! Have a great day!!

Sousa is so full of shit with Mount Oliver Bodega it’s unreal. Not only are the prices *insane* for the area, he designed the place to look like you’re entering a fortress. Real inviting stuff! To top it off, it’s all a front for a real estate company to drive up prices. 🤡

It’s hard to understate what a breach of journalistic conduct this is, if it’s true. These were published stories that were then completely removed from our CMS, for whatever reason.
