(PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA) - U. S. Sen. J.D. Vance (Republican-Ohio), his party’s Vice-Presidential Nominee, is a Scab.

Vance crossed a picket line in Pittsburgh on last week - and he follows in the 20-year-old footsteps of his convicted felon Presidential Running Mate, Donald Trump.

Vance crossed the picket line of Staffers of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, who just passed the two-year mark in their labor law-breaking - formally called Unfair Labor Practices (ULP) - Strike against the paper’s notorious Right-Wing Owners, the Block Brothers.

Vance scabbed to deliver an Op-Ed, which the PPG published, alleging, without proof, that Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Presidential Nominee, hates Catholics.

Harris is an American Baptist whose Church is in San Francisco.

Her spouse, Doug Emhoff, is Jewish.

“Our phones at the Pittsburgh Union Progress” - the Strikers’ daily paper - “blew up Thursday morning with messages that J.D. Vance, the dude who wrote a book trashing the good people of Appalachia and then became Donald Trump’s running mate, had crossed a picket line.  So, J.D. is a scab.  Big surprise, right?  It took us a moment to realize it was our picket line everyone was talking about.  Perfect.  Last week we raised a toast to mark our second complete year on Strike. We toasted with the hard stuff.  Two years of fighting an employer who flouts Labor Law is exhausting.  This week, a man yearning to be a heartbeat from the Presidency thumbs his nose at us Writers by writing an Op-Ed, published Thursday, for our Union-Busting Bosses.”

Both News Guild President Jon Schleuss and National AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler jumped on Vance.

“J.D. Vance is a piece of work,” Shuler opened her tweet. “Post-Gazette Workers have been on Strike for two years, battling relentless Union-Busting. Today he crossed the picket line with his Op-Ed, throwing ThePUPnews and CWA Union Members under the bus.”

The News Guild is a Communications Workers of America (CWA) Sector.

“J.D. Vance has crossed a very obvious picket line by striking Americans,” Schleuss said. “And J.D. Vance is a Scab just like anybody else who crosses a picket line.  By crossing our picket line, Vance aligned himself with the lawbreakers who run the Post-Gazette.  It’s a slap in the face to the Workers who have made incredible sacrifices to fight against the company’s illegal actions and gone twenty-four months without a paycheck.”
