Pittsburgh Union Progress 📰

Pittsburgh rocks, I’m excited for tomorrow!

A lot of emotion in the PUP newsroom this weekend as we make and edit and publish what looks to be the @PGHGuild's last Sunday strike paper. Our Ed Blazina and @HFallonPPU have roads/transit and nonprofits covered with their smarts and hearts: unionprogress.com

Here are a couple of district college winners. Including reporter @johnnysantaPUP who covers them: unionprogress.com

Here are your high school champions. Including @SteveRotstein and @BREAL412 who reported and wrote the stories: unionprogress.com

It’s almost time to kickstart 12 hours of commercial-free WPIAL championship football, starting with the Class 1A final between the No. 2 Clairton Bears (12-1) and the No. 4 Laurel Spartans (12-1). I’ll have full coverage along with @BREAL412 all day long for @ThePUPNews:

Follow along as our @BREAL412 & @SteveRotstein work all day on this championship Saturday @AcrisureStadium and @johnnysantaPUP covers college 🏈. Meanwhile here's last night's @PIAASports playoffs results, and the Mon Incline is open for Light Up Night: unionprogress.com

The Friday strike paper gets you ready for 🏈 championship Saturday @AcrisureStadium; reports on the Mount Washington Transit Tunnel and the @unitedwaySWPA IMPACT Awards, and shares a SNAP update from the @Pghmediapartner's @ErinYudt: unionprogress.com

At the beginning of the strike, education reporter Andrew Goldstein made a promise: No haircut, no beard cut until the strike is won. Three years later ... UnionProgress.com/donate

More company appeals in the three-year-plus Pittsburgh news strike, but the @PGHGuild journalists say they'll still be at work Monday: unionprogress.com/2025/11/20/pg-…

The Thursday PUP gets ready for Saturday's @wpial7 football championships. Here's our @BREAL412 and @SteveRotstein (with a bonus photo by @johnnysantaPUP): unionprogress.com

Wednesday PUP: @unitedwaySWPA seeks free tax prep volunteers, our Ed Blazina has a distinctly convoluted Pittsburgh roadwork report, and @stevemellon412 is there as the @PGHGuild's Goldy loses his locks: unionprogress.com

You still won't find me reading, sharing or engaging with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette until the paper finally follows the law. Stand with the striking journalists of the @PGHGuild.

@1HoodPower We're not back to work yet, but we intend to be.

The Pittsburgh Post Gazette strike is now over.

Breaking: With a federal court order in their favor, the journalists of @PGHGuild have voted to end their strike and on Monday notified the PG that they intend to return to work next week: unionprogress.com/2025/11/17/pit…

Monday morning PUP: @johnnysantapup lays out the district @NCAA football playoff picture and Ed Blazina reports on @PGHtransit's annual service report: Missed trips are down, but on-time performance remains an issue: unionprogress.com

The Sunday PUP is packed with all the district high school and college football, a rekindled @pittsburghparks podcast, and news for toll scofflaws: @PA_Turnpike is coming for you with @PAAttorneyGen: unionprogress.com

From the football fields of Western Pennsylvania, here's our @SteveRotstein's and @MattFreedPhoto's report: unionprogress.com/2025/11/15/wpi…

Seems apropos to re-post this: It's America Recycles Day! unionprogress.com/2025/11/14/cha…

The @ppuglobe gets us. Thanks, Globe Editorial Staff, for the sense and solidarity: ppuglobe.com/2025/11/globes…
