CWA Post-Gazette Journalists Win Millions in Back Pay and Benefits

On Monday, the United States Supreme Court dealt the final blow to the former owners of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (PG)-BCI and the Block family-in their efforts to avoid accountability. After their three-year strike, current and former workers at PG, represented by the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh (TNG-CWA Local 38061), are set to be paid millions of dollars for wages and benefits owed now that the company has exhausted its appeals.
