This is a brief notice to Pittsburgh-based chosters that you can physically support striking Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers tomorrow. Turn out if you get the chance, they've been doing good work covering local news at their strike paper, the Pittsburgh Union Progress.
In what they hope will be their biggest showing of community support yet, striking newspaper and production workers at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette will rally outside the newsroom’s North Shore office on Friday to mark one year on strike, a somber anniversary that union leaders say is a testament to the courage of their members.
The workers will host their rally on the 300 block of North Shore Drive at 1 p.m., in the shadow of the Post-Gazette’s office that continues to produce a newspaper with journalists and others who are crossing the unions’ picket line.
