Original: ‘Big hill to climb’: 1,000 Duquesne Light union workers strike after contract talks stall
Around 1,000 union workers at Duquesne Light, the utility serving Pittsburgh, have gone on strike after contract negotiations broke down. The walkout affects the local power provider and its customers, and a union representative described the road ahead in negotiations as a 'big hill to climb.' It is the latest in a series of high-profile labor disputes in the US, drawing attention to utility workers' contract demands.
Why now: A large walkout at a regional utility is disrupting power services and adding to the current wave of US labor actions.
