Nov. 17, 2025 | STRIKES | (Click image to enlarge.) After more than three years on strike against the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and five years of overall corporate violation of labor law, The News Guild of Pittsburgh, TNG-CWA Local 38061, completely won its case against the Block brothers, the paper’s owners. Writing on Nov. 10 for a unanimous panel of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia, Judge Cindy Chung—the former U.S. Attorney for Western Pennsylvania, headquartered in Pittsburgh—ordered the Blocks to bargain and reach a contract with the Guild, just as the National Labor Relations Board demanded in seeking an injunction, a mandatory court order, against the duo. … [News Guild President Jon] Schleuss didn’t go quite as far this time in praising Chung’s decision, but he said it should send a tough message to other corporate chieftains who defy and break labor law against their workers.
