As The Stand put it (https://www.thestand.org/2025/07/convention-2025-our-voice-our-power-our-movement/) those three days "strengthened bonds of solidarity, grew skillsets, and celebrated the powerful resiliency of a movement by and for working people." Over the course of those three days Harold hit the Convention floor and talked with other Delegates including Ryan Andreas (USW Local 289m - https://usw.org/) Joe Bond (IBEW Local 48 - https://www.ibew48.com/) Ava Claridge (AFSCME Local 443 - https://www.wfselocal443.org/) Rik Desken (SAG-AFTRA Seattle Local - https://www.sagaftra.org/seattle) Dustin Hysmith (SMART Local 16 - https://www.smw16.org/) C Moline (NALC Branch 79 - https://nalc79.org/ - and Washington Young Emerging Labor Leaders - https://www.instagram.com/washington_yell/) Nate Omdal (AFM Local 76-493 - https://local76-493.org/) Chuck Pirtle (AFSCME 1181 - https://www.facebook.com/WFSELocal1181/ - and the Kitsap County Central Labor Council - https://unionhall.aflcio.org/kitsapcountyclc) Tony Zemple (IUOE Local 302 - https://www.iuoe302.org/  - and the Northwest Washington Central Labor Council - https://www.nwwclc.com/) about the big moments that stood out to them during the event, their impressions of Vancouver, and why working people who aren't in a union (yet) should care about what happens at state Labor Federation Conventions.

There are a lot of union members in Southwest Washington, but that population is going to jump between July 22nd and 24th when the Washington State Labor Council holds its 2025 Convention (https://www.wslc.org/convention/) at the Vancouver Hilton. Washington State Labor Council Communications Director Sarah Tucker sits down with Harold to talk about what happens at the WSLC Convention, what bringing it to Vancouver means for working people there (whether they're in a union or not) and what a COPE barbecue is!

In the latest episode of Working People, we go back to the picket line to get a critical update on the longest ongoing strike in the United States. In October 2022, over 100 workers represented by five labor unions—including production, distribution, advertising, and accounts receivable staff—walked off the job on an unfair labor practice strike at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (PPG). The strike began after the newspaper's management, Block Communications, which is owned by the Block family, cut off health insurance for employees on Oct. 1 of that year. After more than 2.5 years on strike, with other unions reaching contracts or taking buyouts and dissolving their units, workers represented by the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh are the last remaining strikers holding the line. We speak with a panel of union officers for the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh about how they've managed to stay on strike so long and about recent legal updates that have given them hope that an acceptable end to the strike may be on the horizon. Panelists include: Ed Blazina, striking transportation writer at the PPG and one of the Vice Presidents of the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh; Erin Hebert, also one of the Vice Presidents of the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh and a striking copy-editor and page designer at PPG; Emily Matthews, photographer on strike and treasurer for the Post-Gazette Unit of the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh.
