The Philadelphia Newspaper Guild, which represents the Inquirer, Daily News, and various other papers (but not my own), may go out on strike as soon as later this week, although a settlement and/or extension remains possible.
Philadelphia Weekly has even reported that the newspaper owners have advertised for replacement workers. If asked, I'll say no; I'm not about to commit career suicide, nor do I particularly wish to stab my fellow journalists in the back like that.
(The Guild does have some non-editorial employees in my office, but no pickets are planned there.)
