One of five unions that has been on strike at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for 18 months has agreed to settle with the company.þþTwenty-three striking members of Teamsters Local 211/205 have voted unanimously to accept a labor dispute settlement agreement. Four other unions at the Post-Gazette, including the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh, which represents reporters, photographers and other newsroom employees, are not part of the settlement.þþ“The Post-Gazette and Teamsters Local Union 211/205 have amicably settled their strike, which began October 6, 2022,” the Post-Gazette said in a statement. “The parties ended the strike by executing a Labor Dispute Settlement Agreement. The Labor Dispute Settlement Agreement resolves, to the satisfaction of the Local Union and the Post-Gazette, substantially all strike-related issues and health care, including any outstanding National Labor Relations Board actions.”þþPG President and General Manager Tracey DeAngelo complimented Teamsters Local 211/205 for its “professionalism and diligent efforts in working to end its strike against the Post-Gazette.”þþThe attorney who represented the Teamsters in the negotiations was unavailable late Wednesday.þþThe Teamsters and the three other non-newsroom unions went on strike in protest of the company’s health insurance offer, with some union journalists walking off the job about two weeks later. þþKris B.
