One of America's Great Newspapers?

"So a newspaper that reported a strike in 1934 about whether working people could organise at all may end in 2026 over a dispute about whether the work will be done by people. Ninety-two years apart, in the same city, in the same building (editor’s note: they moved out of The Blade‘s century-old stone office in March this year and staff have been working remotely ever since), and it’s the same argument wearing different clothes. Somebody wants the work done cheaper. Somebody else says the work is the only thing they have."
