Point: Unions have a stake in ending minority rule in the United States
In 2021, just 10.3% of American workers were members of unions, less than half the proportion we had four decades prior. This collapse in union membership didn’t happen in Canada; it occurred in the United States for reasons specific to this country, including unpleasant changes in labor law and the...
Counterpoint: A free marketeer’s love of Labor Day
One hundred forty years ago, the first Labor Day parade almost ended before it began. On Sept. 5, 1882, thousands of union workers, police officers and gawking onlookers gathered at City Hall in lower Manhattan. Everything was in place, the route was set and the marchers were ready to go,...

Fox Chapel looks to boost offense, Shady Side Academy faces injury woes as girls soccer season begins

Sounding off: Abortion, free lunches, Mastriano, debates, drugs, separation of church/state
Eyes are finally opening on abortion Mary Sanchez’s editorial “Every vote in America now about abortion” (Aug. 23, TribLIVE) gave me cause to celebrate. It’s about time! Before Roe v.

Letter to the editor: Wolf’s stimulus check money should go to us
Gov. Tom Wolf’s $2,000 stimulus checks would go far to help needy families. I believe what Pennsylvanians need to know is that Pennsylvania’s Republican Legislature is hoping for a Republican win in the governor’s race, then the money will surely be divided and sent to special interest groups that support...
Letter to the editor: Voters deserve debates
