In a situation that lays bare the difficulty of union solidarity even at a time of high public support for organized labor, journalists at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette went on strike Tuesday — without the resounding support of their members.
The Pittsburgh News Guild voted Monday 38-36 to strike, joining 50 of their colleagues — mailers, drivers, pressmen, and others — who had already been on strike since Oct. 6.
Some journalists have refused to honor the strike and continue to work. Others have left the union in protest.
