WE'RE FORMING A UNION!

The entire PUP newsroom was working late on this breaking story about the @NLRB filing a federal injunction that could put Pittsburgh news strikers back to work. The workers hold a North Shore Drive news conference at 2 p.m. today: https://t.co/2VSXLNvq3X

Breaking: The @NLRB files in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania for an injunction that would put striking Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers back to work and reimburse some for health care costs: https://t.co/2VSXLNvq3X

The FTC just banned noncompete agreements.

This is a big deal.

Noncompetes trap workers in their jobs and prevent them from using their skills to earn higher pay.

It's estimated that the ban could increase wages by $300 billion a year and impact nearly 30 million Americans.

[FTC @FTC]

FTC announces special Open Commission Meeting on rule to ban #noncompetes. Meeting to be held virtually on Tuesday, April 23, 2024, at 2pm ET: https://t.co/cOAcrdhCKV /1

The UAW has won in a landslide at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga: 2,628 to 985. This is the first plant-wide union at a foreign-owned automaker in the South, after years of failed attempts. https://t.co/pLl7L6FycY

[Daily Union Elections @UnionElections]

I'VE SEEN ENOUGH

with roughly 50% of all possible votes in, UAW holds an insurmountable lead which would either require a massive tallying error or statistically improbable remaining vote share to flip.

Vw workers voted #UnionYes to join @UAW.

Scoop: The NLRB plans to seek an injunction in federal court against the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette over labor law violations. Petition likely to be filed in coming days.

Workers at the newspaper have been on strike for 18 months.

[Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh 🗞 @PGHGuild]

We are thrilled that the NLRB announced it’s seeking an injunction against the @postgazette. The PG could've avoided this by simply agreeing to dignified terms with us & our striking union siblings @cwaunion & PPPWU at any point in the last 18 months.. https://t.co/seqtrZTzse

Tuesday, @MSHA_DOL will release its final regulation on silica dust in coal and other mines. Listen to my conversation w/@ayesharascoe for the Sunday Story podcast to hear why it took 50 years to do this, while thousands of coal miners were sick and dying. https://t.co/zoA7edLZ1W

[Howard Berkes @hberkes]

14 yrs ago today. 29 coal miners killed at Massey Energy's Upper Big Branch Mine in WV. Inadequate ventilation. Excessive coal dust. Production over safety. Tepid federal regulation. NPR spent a year investigating.

Oh man.

Pittsburgh Radio Legend Larry O'Brien 81 has d.

One Of The Greatest Radio Morning Shows Ever, O'Brien & Garry were on Pittsburgh's WTAE 1250 AM & 96.1 WHTX for years.

We just lost John Garry 91, 7 months ago.

O'B & G were 2 of My Radio Heroes.
