Name: Andrew Goldstein
Local: The Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh, TNG-CWA Local 38061
Workplace: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Title: Education reporter
Experience: 9.5 years
Strike time: 1.5 years
Quote: "I've been on strike for a year and a half because I strongly believe in the importance of local news, yet I refuse to sit by quietly while my friends and colleagues get treated like garbage by a greedy, ungrateful company that seems hellbent on gratuitous cruelty."
Inspiration: "I am inspired by my colleagues in the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh, who, under great duress, have risen to the occasion every time they've faced a challenge in the last year and a half, as well as the working people of Pittsburgh, who are the ones that truly make this city a special place to live."
