Original: ‘Big hill to climb’: 1,000 Duquesne Light union workers strike after contract talks stall
Around 1,000 union workers at Duquesne Light Company, the electric utility serving Pittsburgh, have gone on strike after contract negotiations broke down. Union leaders described the path to a deal as a 'big hill to climb,' signaling that talks remain far apart and that the walkout could disrupt the utility's operations and its roughly 600,000 customers in the region.
