The newsroom staff of the
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette voted 88-31 last week to authorize union leaders to
call a strike at the paper, the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh announced.
Authorization for a strike at the Post-Gazette must now be
approved by the executive council of the local’s union, the NewsGuild, says the
union. Approval there would then proceed to Communications Workers of America
President Christopher M. Shelton, who has the final say for strike
authorization.
Two other CWA unions at the newspaper, Pittsburgh
Typographical Union #7 and Mailers Local M-22, representing about 40 office and
production employees, have both unanimously authorized a strike, the union says.
