Newspaper workers strike after health insurance canceled

Workers at the Pittsburgh Post Gazette are on the picket line after employees represented by the Communications Workers of America and other staff went on strike after their health insurance coverage was canceled, reports WESA FM. According to the CWA, their members' health insurance was canceled on Oct. 1 "after Block Communications, the owners of the Post-Gazette, refused to pay an additional $19 per employee per week to maintain the existing coverage.”
