White Workers Protest Being Kept Off Jobs in Pittsburgh
In Pittsburgh hundreds of white construction workers protested an order halting work for two days to press for more Black workers in unions. Ralliers marched downtown, chanting We want to work, with police escort and escalating crowd sizes. The stoppage, affecting sites worth over 200 million, aimed to force talks between builders, unions, and the Black Construction Coalition as NAACP plans federal legal action to end job discrimination.
