Anyone know about the demonstration at City Hall? "This rats not for you" is on the inflatable rat's shirt. I can't read the flags.timesuck t1_j69hv09 wrote
That’s strike rat.
It’s a rally to support Post Gazeete workers. They’ve been on strike now for 100 days.
Here’s a link to their strike fund for anyone interested in throwing a few bucks their way to help out.

Oh I didn’t know the strike rat was a real thing! I saw it in Hulu’s ‘Difficult People’ and assumed they had made that up.

It’s really only been 100 days? A buddy of mine works in their printing and I feel like I’ve been receiving nearly daily updates for about 6 months.

The printers have been on strike longer than the journalists- the journalists were doing a byline strike but then became a full blown strike when their brother and sister unions forced a vote on a company wide strike - at least that’s my understanding

That link also includes a sign-up for their alternative paper, Pittsburgh Union Progress. It’s free and extremely helpful to them as a way of proving public support!
