Post-Gazette (pgh) Publisher Hit With Unfair Labor Practice Charge
PITTSBURGH, PA - The union representing Pittsburgh Post-Gazette editorial employees has filed unfair labor practice charges against Publisher John Robinson Block after a newsroom incident in which he allegedly threatened to fire union leaders and other workers.
Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh officials have stated in emails that Block went “berserk” in the incident Saturday evening as he loudly screamed, threatened terminations and complained that his family had lost millions of dollars publishing the newspaper.
“Personally, I was horrified by what I witnessed,” reporter Andrew Goldstein wrote in one of the accounts.
“I actually noticed that my heart was racing. It was sickening and one of the worst things I’ve ever had the displeasure to witness, certainly in an office setting.
