Publisher and Editor-in-Chief, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
John Robinson Block is the publisher of the Post-Gazette, where workers have been striking since October 2022.
Workers at five unions went on strike after John and other company executives refused to cover a small increase of employees' health care coverage. Since then a federal judge ruled against the company for failing to negotiate in good faith with the unions.
John hides in his mansion while PG workers are without healthcare and union contracts.
Union workers at the Post-Gazette are fighting for a fair contract. John and his brother Allan are fighting to break them.
Enough is enough.
Bargain in good faith with your workers and stop trying to bust the unions!
The workers who are responsible for designing, printing, distributing, advertising sales, accounts receivable, and content creation for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette are on strike. They have not had a pay raise in over 15 years and went on strike over the illegal, unilateral cuts to their healthcare made by the Block family -- the Toledo-based, millionaire owners of the paper.
