My most controversial Pirates take is that Joe Block and Kevin Young are the best broadcasting duo that we have.

O'Connor challenged Gainey to "prove the 1,600 units of affordable housing" only for Gainey to turn around and say "let's go for a walk, I'll show them to you", and now today, O'Connor says he won't come. This is just a small taste of how O'Connor will "stand up" for our vulnerable communities.

Diana Block's 'brand' is workers' suffering. Will you join us in asking her United Way coworkers if they approve of their VP of ‘brand management’ busting worker rights at her family newspaper?

I'm so disappointed weekly by all the people crossing our picket line. That doesn't go away just because we're all tired of it. Here are the employees abetting the PG in breaking federal labor law, just as they were when we went on strike 2.5+ years ago: pghguild.com/pittsburgh-p...

Good. Good good. Nothing to worry about as someone, like me, who has never had any dealings or cases with the NLRB.

Something that would be extremely valuable to Elon and other oligarchs would be a blacklist of employees who have filed NLRB complaints or testified in NLRB hearings that they could fire or refuse to hire! Would be wildly illegal to use such a list but so is this:

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

It should be noted that a member in good standing of the Pittsburgh YIMBY group doxxed someone's address online while trying to score points in a debate about housing and the organization took no externally visible action.

without looking i guessed this guy was legal academia, but i was wrong, he's somehow even more clueless: a legal reporter, specifically on the supreme court. it's very straightforward to deport US citizens: the admin puts them on a plane and fly them out of the country to somewhere that holds them.

We requested @post-gazette.com give the improved health care we recently won to all bargaining unit employees. To be clear, the 3rd Circuit Court already ordered the PG to do this. It’s just delaying in an attempt to deny its CURRENT employees health care.

Two of our union siblings were detained by ICE. This comes at a time when our union is continuing to fight for fair contracts with strong protections, and stand up against Starbucks's repeated union-busting. Our message is clear: If you mess with one of us, you mess with ALL of us. #4the1st

“The News Guild workers walked off the job on Oct. 18, 2022, shortly after four other unions did so—for the same reasons—at the Post-Gazette. One, a Teamsters local, later surrendered, and dis-solved its PPG unit. The three others later settled on the Blocks’ terms. That left the News Guild.”
