The ruling comes amid the longest ongoing strike in the country.

Last year, the National Labor Relations Board found that the Post-Gazette's owner, the Block Company, had bargained in bad faith and ordered it to undo cuts to health care benefits and other changes to employment terms.

The appeals panel agreed and upheld the board's order, but the case is far from over.

Ernst Orsatti is a labor lawyer with Quattrini Law Group, which is not involved in the case.

The Post Gazette's owner can still appeal.

That process alone could take another year.
