All of us striking workers at the Post-Gazette were encouraged by the paper's owners, Block Communications Inc., returning to the bargaining table with us on Monday, Nov. 14. We hoped to leave that meeting well on our way to the company meeting our strike's demands in good faith.

They did no such thing — insisting on contract language that would compromise our existence as union workers, and all of us as members of a community that deserves quality news.

So on Nov. 19, when John Block is planning to hold an extravagant wedding reception at the Duquesne Club here in Pittsburgh, we plan to be outside. The Blocks seemingly insist on disrespecting us, our fellow workers, and the service we strive to provide the public. So we will see them on their very special Saturday.

We'd like to bring a crowd. And we'd love for you to be in it. Can you Save the Date and RSVP here?
