Striking editorial workers at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette delivered petitions from more than 700 Pittsburghers who have pledged to fight alongside striking workers. They told the company that they would not resume their readership of the newspaper after the strike is won if the Post-Gazette retaliates against workers who went on strike.

“If you earn a paycheck in this country, you may very well have to answer this question in the coming months: Will you go away silently? Or will you stand and fight?" said TNG-CWA Local 38061 member Steve Mellon, a Post-Gazette multimedia journalist who is on strike.

To support striking workers and families, you can do any of these three things today:

1. Donate to the strike fund that's used to pay for rent, utility bills, car repairs, groceries, and to keep their pets alive and well.
    
2. Order a T-shirt repping their strike publication, the Pittsburgh Union Progress. All proceeds go to the same strike fund.
    
3. Subscribe to the Pittsburgh Union Progress for free news on the strike, the lives of working people in Western PA and beyond, and more
