Q&A With Natalie Duleba on Resistance, Resilience, and the Real People of the Post-Gazette Strike — Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents
[One year of a strike means] that striking workers haveseen every season of greed and selfishness the Blocks have. It means that striking Pittsburghers aren’t afraid of a long fight if it’s fighting for what’s right.
Today marks a solemn day in Pittsburgh labor, social justice, and general histories — the one year anniversary of the strike by employees of our daily paper, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
It is also a celebration of resistance, resilience, and the real people who produce our paper. As a lifelong reader and strong believer in local media, I wanted to better understand the strike. To commemorate, we interviewed one of the leaders of the News Guild, Natalie Duleba.
