Name: Stan Wischnowski
Occupation: Executive Editor, Vice President, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Status: Union Buster
Stan Wischnowski, executive editor and vice president of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, has the power to help bring an end to the monthslong strike at the PG, but chooses instead to appease his millionaire bosses in an effort to continue climbing the career ladder.
Instead of advocating for the journalists at his newspaper, Stan chooses to hide in his office and hire more scab workers, leading the production of a scab newspaper meant to weaken the union.
Union workers are fighting for a fair contract. The Post-Gazette’s owners have broken federal labor law.
Stan? He can’t be bothered.
Do your job, stand up for what’s right and stop shilling for your millionaire bosses.
The workers who are responsible for designing, printing, distributing, advertising sales, accounts receivable, and content creation for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette are on strike. They have not had a pay raise in over 15 years and went on strike over the illegal, unilateral cuts to their healthcare made by the Block family -- the Toledo-based, millionaire owners of the paper.
