Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman had some harsh words for the owners of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette at a union rally outside the company's North Shore offices Friday.Watch video of Fetterman at the labor rally in the video player above."You won the highest honor your profession bestows, and you haven't had a raise in 13 years," Fetterman told the crowd standing in the middle of North Shore Drive. "What is wrong with you, Block family? What is wrong with you?"The Democratic lieutenant governor was referring to a Pulitzer Prize won by the Post-Gazette for its coverage of last year's mass shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Squirrel Hill.The Allegheny-Fayette Central Labor Council, which sponsored the rally, says Post-Gazette employees have been working without a contract for two years and haven't had a pay increase in 13 years.The rally called on Block Communications to pay a fair wage to Post-Gazette workers who are represented by the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh and other unions."Any place the union way of life is threatened, that's where I'll be. Any place where workers are being mistreated and not paid what they deserve, I'm going to be there to stand in solidarity," Fetterman said.A request for comment from the Block family was not returned Friday afternoon.
