CHICAGO — The Chicago Tribune Guild won its first contract from Alden Global Capital after six years of bargaining, securing substantial economic gains and 21st-century workplace protections for members as they continue to keep Chicago informed and accountable.
The contract, ratified with near unanimous support Friday, provides two years of consecutive raises and an immediate signing bonus to journalists who have not seen a raise since 2018. It also retains guild workers’ 401k match, raises minimum salaries to put the newsroom on a path to wage equity and contains essential protections against potential outsourcing of human journalism to artificial intelligence.
The Chicago Tribune Guild represents 79 reporters, photographers and editors.
