@PGHGuild @PittsburghPG We appreciate the help!

Rent, heat and other costs do not go down in your third holiday season on strike.

Can you donate on this #GivingTuesday to help us as we try to hold the @PittsburghPG’s lawbreaking bosses accountable? https://t.co/TCZFc5KU9h

@endlibtyranny @LizShuler @ThePUPNews @CWAUnion The PG constantly flouts labor law. I would suggest you do some reading on the subject before posting a response like this. We strikers will see them in court on Monday. Watch for that report.

@LizShuler @ThePUPNews @CWAUnion It’s embarrassing for @jdvance to say he’s for workers like me and then cross the picket line for the scab @PittsburghPG w/ an op-ed. We’re focused on winning this strike over the law-breaking PG, which refuses to bargain fairly with its workers.

[Liz Shuler @LizShuler]

JD Vance is a piece of work.

Post-Gazette workers have been on strike for two years, battling relentless union-busting. Today, he crossed the picket line with his op-ed, throwing @ThePUPNews and @cwaunion members under the bus.

@ColMustard88 @UAW @IAFFofficial Where are you getting your information?

[Helen Fallon @HFallonPPU]

@jamieson @gaufre @metzgov Thank you!

[Dave Jamieson @jamieson]

NewsGuild prez @gaufre confirms for me that JD Vance crossed a picket line by publishing an op-ed today in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, where workers are on strike. No excuse for it, he says.

"JD Vance is a scab just like anybody else who crosses a picket line."

Block family members and their cronies stand in the way of ending the strike by continuing to break federal labor law.

@shaman103 @PGHGuild I am a sensible person. I know when to stand up for myself and my colleagues. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is breaking the law. It needs to held accountable.

[Helen Fallon @HFallonPPU]

@colinwimbles Thanks, Colin!

[Helen Fallon @HFallonPPU]

@colinwimbles Finally!

[Helen Fallon @HFallonPPU]

@PoojaSalhotra @maddyjrubin @PittsburghPG Really? When a strike has been going on for 22 months?

[Helen Fallon @HFallonPPU]

@maddyjrubin @PittsburghPG You are crossing a picket line. Terrible decision to come and work here.

[Helen Fallon @HFallonPPU]

@allieptonk @ThePUPNews Thank you so much!

[Helen Fallon @HFallonPPU]

@catfish_chuck @bobbatzjr Check circulation and online usage figures for newspapers. They both count. And are still widely read. Try it -- You might learn something.

@NatinOhio Thank you!

I got the opportunity to speak at the Golden Quills dinner tonight after accepting the Press Club Scholarship. Union solidarity forever and always, in private and in public.
