(WPXI) – Members of the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh have been on strike for three days. On Monday, Oct. 17, members voted to go on strike beginning at noon on Tuesday, should the ownership of the Post-Gazette not meet its demands to restart contract negotiations. The union members have been working without a contract since 2017. The action has drawn support from several local and national unions, as well as elected officials, and nationally, the Major League Baseball Players Association and the Service Employees International Union both gave support to the union members via tweets.
