On Friday, Oct. 6, 2023 at 1 p.m., we’re rallying on North Shore Drive — outside the offices of the Post-Gazette — to mark one year on strike.
We’ll celebrate the unity and support you’ve provided — the solidarity that’s stood in the way of the Block’s attempts to wear us down — with speeches and songs from our siblings in organized labor leaders, elected officials, and everyday, working people.
Over the past year, you have …
- … donated money that has sustained our basic needs
- … used your (singing) voices and put your bodies on the line alongside us to fight the scab production and distribution of the scab Post-Gazette
- … dotted Pittsburgh and beyond with solidarity signs along roads in every direction
You’ve always been part of this fight. And we’re eager to take the time with you to appreciate you and all your forms of support during this rally.
Our specific fight for respectable working conditions has reached a full year, but the problems extend beyond the wretched owners of the Post-Gazette. Thousands of members of UAW, WGA and SAG-AFTRA have forced the public to see these same issues that workers consistently face across industries — the disrespect their companies’ owners feel entitled to inflicting on our communities.
It’s all one fight. If you’re on the right side of it, we hope to see you next Friday.
In Solidarity,
