NATION IN BRIEF : PENNSYLVANIA : Pickets Try to Block Newspaper Delivery
Striking drivers linked arms Monday and blocked trucks trying to deliver the first editions of Pittsburgh’s two daily newspapers published since May. Police arrested 39 protesters. Delivery trucks couldn’t get out of the Pittsburgh Press Co. parking lot, but an undisclosed number of copies of the morning Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the afternoon Pittsburgh Press were delivered from other sites, company spokesman Randall Notter said. Neither paper had published since May 17, when drivers belonging to Local 211 of the Teamsters Union went on strike.
