CommonWealth Press has unionized
We have all always wanted CWP to be the best place to work that it can be. We believe in unions and when we found out there aren’t any trade union screenprinters in Pittsburgh (or most of PA) we thought that together we could change that and keep Pittsburgh jobs in Pittsburgh.
It wasn’t easy and it took a very long time but we all pulled together and CommonWealth Press has unionized. Union Screenprinters - CommonWealth Press - Pittsburgh Typographical Union local 412

This was employee executed, owner initiated, 100% participation, non-contested, unionization, hats off to Amanda Gates and Dave Kaule who then took it upon themselves to absorb the huge task of diligent shop stewards.
it is our privilege to be the first to announce that we are proud AFL/CIO** members of The Printing, Publishing, and Media Workers Sector of the Communication Workers of America and the Graphic Communications Conference of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters proudly using the CWA*** and Allied**** Label....and wait, they even let us pick our own number, so naturally - we are local 412.
