BREAKING: We won!
Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

Paid parental leave is “common sense” to Bobbi Jean Ozanick, a stroke telemetry nurse at Allegheny General Hospital. She was among those who gathered at a rally on Labor Day to advocate for it.

This is inhumane and unacceptable. And how were these workers thanked for enduring these conditions? Many were laid off.
This is why we're organizing. A better industry is both possible and must come to pass if our artform and dignity are to survive.

The NewsGuild-CWA is also participating in the suit because of the DHS rule’s restrictions on international media members. They’re limited to admission for 240 days before an extension is required.
We have several dozen members who are foreign journalists working in the United States. The U.S. should defend a free press, not attack it. We're proud to stand with others and fight these illegal visa changes.
NEW: Today, we joined a lawsuit challenging the Department of Homeland Security’s decision to end a longstanding visa framework that will affect foreign journalists working in the U.S., along with international students and scholars.
