Statement in Response to National Labor Relations Board Ruling on Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Unfair Labor Practices

On September 20, a National Labor Relations Board panel affirmed an Administrative Law Judge’s January 2023 ruling that the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette had failed to bargain in good faith with the union representing its workers.

In response, Communications Workers of America President Claude Cummings Jr. issued the following statement:

Last week’s ruling from the National Labor Relations Board reinforces something that has been clear from the start of the strike: the Post-Gazette has been violating federal labor law. Meanwhile, CWA and NewsGuild-CWA members have been enduring unnecessary hardship for nearly two years. The Post-Gazette management could stop wasting money on fruitless attempts to avoid responsibility and end the strike today by following labor law. We are united and we will not back down.
